The Giver Painting

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.
