ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Fierce Hindu goddess Kali in the form of my little daughter meets angel Gabriel with lilies. Gabriel is on his way to visit Mother Mary and Kali shows her bloody tongue after devouring a whole battle field. Angels may seem atavistic notions in the modern world but we are living in the year of war, our bordering country is an unprecedented war aggressor. Since there is enough suffering on the planet we must embrace any form of irrational, divine, otherworldly appeasement. The work is painted on 300 g/m² Arches watercolor paper and is not framed.

My love for printed words is so strong that I make paintings and sculptures from orphaned books. I add different sorts of paper, textile fiber and found objects and treat this mixture as if it was a marble mine. I regard all human-made commodities as the raw material of the 21st century, they add opulence, playfulness and weirdness to my objects. My sculptures are hybrids - installations, huge marionettes and idol figures. I overcome gravity using a technique from marionette theater. Sculptures float in air and strings make them alive. I paint because I'm volatile. I catch all my demons and fears with a brush, so they are not threatening anymore. I'm hesitant, that's why I paint portraits in real time. Models don't have to speak. Sometimes I lay paintings in a horizontal plane, like huge rolls of parchment. The public can touch it, walk and crawl on it, contemplating the importance of daily grounding. I'm a mystic. I borrow deities and create semisacred, eerie spaces where sculptures, paintings, words and animation merge in a numinous, baroque amalgam. I love the tactile. My objects are sensuous to touch. I love word constellations, so there are collections of short stories to accompany the visual work. In a courageous mood, I transform stories into puppet performances and collaborate with theaters and musicians.
