This painting is part of the Series called "Askesis" Asceticism from the Greek: ἄσκησις áskesis, which means"exercise, training". Is is a lifestyle characterized by abstinence from sensual pleasures, often for the purpose of pursuing spiritual goals. Ascetics may withdraw from the world for their practices or continue to be part of their society, but typically adopt a frugal lifestyle, characterised by the renunciation of material possessions and physical pleasures, and time spent fasting while concentrating on the practice of religion or reflection upon spiritual matters. Inspired by the book of St John Climaqus "The Ladder of Divine Ascent".Each chapter is referred to as a "step", and deals with a separate spiritual subject. One of the aspects of this suffering that is emphasized is the aspect of purification of the soul, the "inner man".This is step one "On renunciation of the world" or asceticism.The soul is not a part of the human compound, but a dimension-what St. Paul calls the inner man. In the Apophagi Father Ammonas says: "Affliction drives out all defects, imperturbably". ''They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more''-Beckett

Living and working in Paris – painter, visual artist, video maker - performer and photographer, I am interested in “Open Work", as a parallel to Ezra Pound’s note that each artist is always a Troubadour. In my approach to visual arts I am combining two different sensibilities. In one hand I am a colorist, filling the void of our perception. On the other hand I explore artistic presentations of philosophical concepts. The dialectics of those two approaches results in never ending process of creation, since, the new technologies, which facilitate "versioning", collaboration and "forking" fit perfectly the concept of Umberto Eco's "open work". To be more specific - art is communication that “happens” more intensively in collaboration, where the “inbetweener” space is established by two or more artists as a declination of rigged by conflits "Friendship Studies". My recent work is based on research considering everything that imply authorship, fragmented or composed, thinking as tinkering, "bricolage" or glitch (as a third author) – the late revealing the unintentional functioning of the brain and the human memory as well as bugged software algorithms and hardware. The language itself, in all its manifestations, took a preponderant place in my visual research. My exploitation of digital technologies is influenced by the possibility of keeping the track of that specific multi layer cooperation, multi level superposition of human and the machine.
