The open process of creation is an attitude similar to that which children adopt in play. It is an authentic and active field of creation. It is not so much about the final effect as about action, experience, experiment, following intuition into the unknown without expectations. The goal is definitely in second place.Of course, a successful painting gives me satisfaction, but the meaning of work is precisely the process, which balances between construction and destruction.For me, creation is a form of dialogue with what is happening on the canvas.
Layer by layer, relationships between the elements of the composition are built. A challenge can be to go beyond your own, limiting preferences, such as your favorite color range or repeated composition patterns. At any moment of work, I remain ready for changes – the format can be cropped, ready fragments painted over, etc. …
Introducing a drawing can change the internal space and impose, for example, a reversal of perspective.
I choose this way of working because it is interesting to me, it gives me more pleasure than a planned implementation according to a sketch.
After a day spent in the studio, the result of the work may be successful or not, but the painting can be painted endlessly.When I work, I am in a trance – I do not know when the day is passing and what is happening around me. It absorbs me, engages me, sometimes disappoints or surprises me. It is a strange state, a passion of a similar nature to falling in love.
