When the Night is Near, 2009, acrylic on canvas, 25 x 35 cm Painting

The painting is for me an expression through colour which I use as a main medium. What interests me the most about painting are different approaches and corresponding techniques but its true significance lies in the process itself, in the movement that begins with the installation of objects in the space and evolves through numerous phases/stages of upgrade. In the process of painting I am aware of having to share my work with someone else- a spectator. That’s why I’m also interested in the optical system and giving a spectator the opportunity to be a part of the process. I can say that light and reflexion are present in all my works from different cycles like Forest (1996-2001), Reflexion (1997-2006), Grass (2002-2006), Flowers (from 2006 onward), Sea and Waves (2007-2010), Figures (from 2010 onward) as a cohesive thread.
