For me, painting is a philosophy and Nietzsche once said about philosophy: :”It always creates the world in its own image, it cannot do other-wise; is this tyrannical impulse itself, the most spiritual Will To Power, the will to creation of the world, the will to causa prima”.
I put this fragment here because for me what I am doing is a philosophy, a path of finding my own Will To Power, and also the source of that will.
Even if is a painting or a photography, what I am creating is an image-” tyrannical impulse itself”, as Nietzsche calls it- that shows nothing else then my story, a transfiguration of myself.
As an art student (National University of Art, Bucharest) that wants to find his own away in this domein I am consistently working as much as I can to grow in my area, but to do so I realised, in the previous year, that I need courge to put -basically-myself out, to speak and truly express my spirit, so, in this way, I found that SAATCHI ART is one of those places.
