Second Twin Painting

"Only he is an artist who can make a riddle out of a solution." - Karl Kraus _ My work takes inspiration from abstract expressionism, informal and conceptual art and moves toward the direction of exploring human big questions about transformation, mystery, decay, mutation, evolution and death, but also human origin and divine nature. __ “A painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience.” - Mark Rothko __ Although abstract, my paintings are not based on random colors and shapes. I use few colors and shapes specifically selected to create an impact on the observer and unconsciously activate emotions and feelings. Being a neuroscientist working in the field of affective neuroscience, I take advantage of my knowledge about emotions and the brain to stimulate the mind and the body of the observer. __ "The principles of true art is not to portray, but to evoke". - Jerzy Kosinski __ I do not use common materials nor classic canvas. I consider art as an experiment and a process, not a product. I use synthetic and sometimes organic substances and let chemical reactions take place during the process. Half of the process is orchestrated by me, half is purely governed by physical and chemical reactions. __ “In art, as in biology, there is a phenomenon that can be described as mutation, in which appearances radically change at a tempo much more rapid than that at which they normally proceed. - Mark Rothko
