The most interesting things start when we become free
of any intention, when we don’t control our mind and the
process of creation. Then for couple of moments we are
only the paintings, the brushes, the structure, the energy
and the collective consciousness of elements used in
the artwork. Our minds are determined to fight for their
freedom, to fall into the process of creation, to discover
new lands, to climb to the highest levels of concentration.
The process of creation can be compared with falling in
trance, digging in the furthest parts of our minds, that
were never used before. In many artworks there is an idea
that from time to time you can be an artist, and that’s
true I believe – you are an artist when you forget about
the everyday life and when you become a pure willing to
create. It’s similar when you are a sportsman, a scientist,
an artist. According to Stanislav Grof, the mind has an
ability to look for the essence of things that wants to
concentrate on. And in that case it can be creative. This
‘ultra’ state of mind is what I mostly appreciate in my art
now – the effect of mostly personal artistic transcription
of myself.
