In Person (2019)
“What if a piece of art is so delicate that it cannot be seen from a distance?”
“Three times me life-size on paper.”
Conscious Poems (2018)
The Poem of Process
“Wherever I go, wherever I am.
An emotion. A feeling. A reaction. Subconsciously.
Then this thought in my brain.
Consciously.
Everywhere. In each cell of my body.”
The Poem of Faith
“Sometimes I don’t know.
Is it the end or the beginning?
Aren’t they the same?
What if we stop thinking?
What would we be?
I guess we would be free.”
The Poem of Appreciation
“What makes the difference?
What makes it meaningful?
What makes it precious?
My foundation.
My connection.
I myself. Can’t hide my smile.”
The Poem of Serenity
“Aware of every thought and deed.
Automatically. Intuitively.
Clarity.
Down to earth.
No matter where. No matter what.
Independent and free.”
Courage (2018)
“In contrast to Smart Expansion, Courage was the conscious decision to relieve myself where I blended the process of thinking into emotions.”
Smart Expansion (2017–18)
“If someone asked me why I create these delicate and complex drawings which can, at times, appear almost obsessive, I’d say each line is a thought. Now one can imagine what that means: there were thousands of thoughts in mind.”
Connected (2016–17)
“The final pieces of the project Connected are the outcome of a multiple-step process. It consists of digital collages of ink drawings and photographs which I transferred to photopolymer intaglio plates, and then, manually printed on a traditional printmaking press.
Though every step would work as a separate creation, for the final printmaking result each stage is dependent on the other. The project Connected unites and appreciates traditional crafts and modern digital technology.
For me, the process of making art has the same importance as the result. It helps me to move forward—artistically and personally. The process provides the insights.”
