Untitled Painting

Artist Statement He is a contemporary artist. In his works, he aims to explore the relationship between forms, colours and shapes,where by the target is to meet at an emotional level with the viewers. Several subjects and objects join each other in these works. There may be anger and calmness together, at the same time in the same painting. He rather has an interactive reaction with colours, shapes and forms during the creation process. He responds to their effect on his own emotions and thoughts at that moment. In this way he's living the experience of painting as he's creating. His creativity flows in an abstract and semi-figurative style into the works. His choice of using bright colours has it’s particular background in the culture in which he grew up. Surrounded with these forms and shapes they took root with in him. They come to surface as new forms with in his paintings; more fluid than geometric. Perhaps, this is his reinterpretation of his culture,one that is elusive rather than defined, always evolving and never finished. This is a culture, where aggression and caring are woven into the daily lives of the people. His paintings reflect this struggle between extremes. Art needs to exist. Art is the way and at the same time the target. In other words, theprocess of making art is the true meaning and goal of art. By creating art, paintings are born; they are the aftermath of the process. The true value to the artist occurs while connected deep within the process of painting.
