Dreams and Shadows

In this particular series entitled, Dreams and Shadows I talk about my personal life, how dramatic sometimes it turned – moments of evasive fear, nostalgia, uncertainty, yet with a deemed light surfacing from the depth of the tunnel – circumstances that helped me build courage and confidence and, somehow, shaping my character to face it all with love. And the Love can be found, in most of my work, in the form of a woman evading and taking place as subject – she comes in as a metaphor to emphasize the motherhood/endurance of my thriving.

In the work I also try to voice up the struggle that is constantly raising these days in trying to “fit in”, and the question of whether it’s necessary or not. With the today’s light of the media, with the emphasis to social media, how can one escape the trend and build his/her own voice? Or should we just be content to look at the world from the same angle, speak the same intellectual dialect, or gathering the same dusty thoughts? This and other questions flow throughout my work and bring forth an understanding that we are all unique in a way as the works are, and the individual interpretation of the work by the viewer add to a stimulation of how beautiful the world could be if we all exercise that freedom/gift.

The predominant colour in my paintings is blue, for its elasticity when it comes to depth. The colour blue, somehow, says a lot about my personality as well as it gives me needed tranquility to peacefully penetrate in the depth of what I am creating and enjoy different feelings and emotions it provokes.

In most of my work you will find texture in form of fine parallel lines in an abstract way, which randomly flow on the surface of the painting in different directions. This comes in to highlight the drama.
