The Works
The pursuit of truth is central to mv artistic practice, always exploring what lies behind various layers of concealment. My references draw from a broad spectrum of sources: from antiquity and myth to current events and the present day. The notion of obscurity is evident in the current body of work, manifesting both in the technique employed and thematically, through the use of symbolism and visual metaphors. It is a direct reference to the way peculiar and seemingly incomprehensible issue transform into magical and mystical. Today information dissemination occurs at incredible speed yet societal mechanisms seem to remain idle and powerless in the face of mysticism and conspiracy perceptions. Throughout time, the pursuit of cosmic truth has been an ongoing quest for humanity. I intent to readdress these age- old questions by calling for a new definition of what is really at stake. What does it mean for today’s individual to claim happiness and fulfilment, while still in search of one’s true identity? How legitimate or even feasible is the quest for change and transcendence?
“The pursuit of truth behind every layer of concealment is central to mv artistic practice.”
