ARTIST STATEMENT
I think that absolute freedom in art is no more than a mirage. Like a vanishing
point, not only it is not achievable, but also constant strive for being totally uninhibited
fundamentally contradicts the very nature of art. I discovered that by trying to free myself I instead created un-freedom within, but I recognized it as a blessing because this un-freedom was my very own un-freedom. I built my personal space inside it, I fenced in all I was made of and then I gladly confined myself into this space and opened all the windows to share what’s inside with others. This is the moment of great joy for me because this space never existed before I’ve created it.
Not unlike theater, my work attempts to counterpart outside reality with no ambition to
compete with it. It is just a window into my own parallel world.
