Infitialis IV Painting

Infitialis The escape from reality to accept and confront with it is the main topic I concentrate on in my artistic research. It is in human nature to reject everything that is negative and which burdens us, sometimes to the extent that it creates a "deliberate blindness" in people, the tendency to deliberately draw attention from the problem. A very important question is how the escape from reality can contribute to its confrontation? People are emotional beings and all problems and disadvantages, whether they are serious or benign, leave a trace in the human psyche and I think it is quite understandable to want to "escape from reality." A person has the right to do so, without the feeling of guilt or shame, because this is one of the ways in which we manage to deal with these same problems and unpleasant situations. It is ok to take a break sometimes. During the development of humanity, people have imposed a system that does not evaluate enough inner world and emotions. The beauty of life is this interweaving of emotions, positive and negative; therefore, these negative ones should not be treated as the necessary evil and the curse of being, they should be accepted and appreciated, because without them "good" would make no sense. The importance of accepting and finding peace with its inner self is very important, because if it does not come to that state of balance and acceptance, it can have a fatal outcome for an individual. Without this "distance observation" and genuine conversation with one, can build up neuroses and bring the individual into a pathological state of consciousness, into a sink from which he is difficult to come up with a social stigma that often floats above these mental divergences. This consciousness which is forgotten by the modern individual was on its peak in romanticism, which is the awareness of the need to care for the inner state and the tendency to re-enter into harmony with nature, the awareness that the negative is part of a positive and positive part of the negative. The word "Infitialis" is of Latin origin and means negativity, refusal, rejection. In the "positive" world, images are negative, and in "negative" they are positive. Images represent the necessity of the mutual presence of these two extremes in the human psyche and the tendency to accept the existence of both. In my works, in a subtle way, I want to present those negative states of consciousness from which we are running, displaying scenes that range from dramatic and dynamic to static and gentle. Images, digital collages and photographs, through the depiction of the human body, portraits and other body segments, portray that inner conflict of the individual with himself, the fear of undoing his "real" face, and the coming into the state of inner acceptance and peace.
