About Iliad Sabchi
Currently shipping art works from Ankara while I am slow travelling and working between several different countries ...
My recent paintings reflect a trans-personal dialog with the very nature of the abstract. With intentions to remain an individual, I concentrate on the unknown; intuit a connection with psyche, spirit and the ego.
Breathing the same air, feeling the same environment, the canvas and I reveal our identity through layered moments of feeling. Every color is met with a patient response; I listen over watching, I care, like a gardener whom seed has been sown.
Space
is occasionally asked of me. I’ll return to life’s daily matters, as to not influence the behavior of the canvas until called, needed, or begin to yearn for relation to reunite with the canvas. Attending to the needs of the aesthetic, I try to massage the uncomfortable points with my hands, healing both painter and painting.
Transient, I paint no more than what I can carry the weight of. Rolled canvases, I trust the universe.
