Q1: Can you walk us through your artistic process and why you prioritize the journey over the destination?
A1: Creating art, for me, is like embarking on a journey without a fixed destination. It involves a fluid process where I lay down the initial structures like a roadmap, but I don’t have an idea of the destination. However, the beauty lies not just in reaching the endpoint but in the nuanced steps, the layers that accumulate, and the constant evolution that occurs along the way. It’s an exploration of the unknown, and it’s exciting to navigate to uncharted territories.
Q2: The tension between geometric structures and organic elements is striking in your work. Can you share more about the ideas or philosophies that inspired this unique blend?
A2: I find inspiration in the coexistence of order and chaos, much like the everyday world we inhabit, or our daily fight between passion and rational. It’s not about choosing one over the other; rather, it’s a reflection of life’s intricate dance. Consider it as blending the predictability and stability of geometry with the unpredictability of organic forms—like composing a melody where each note, whether planned or spontaneous, contributes to the harmony of the whole.
Q3: Your exhibition is titled “Poetics of Geometry.” What’s the story behind this title, and how does it encapsulate the essence of your artistic vision?
A3: “Poetics of Geometry” is a deliberate choice. It’s about finding the, how I would describe it better, a lyrical beauty in the structured forms, a narrative that is “woven” through lines and shapes. Geometry, typically associated with precision, takes on a poetic, imprecise quality in my work. And this is because each piece tells a story, a poem composed with angles and curves, layer after layer, reflecting a vibrant elegance found in the language of shapes.
Q4: Time appears to be a significant element in your art. Could you expand on the role of time and how it contributes to the narratives in your pieces?
A4: In the realm of “Poetics of Geometry,” time plays a crucial role in shaping narratives. Some of these paintings have been evolving through years, changing shape, pretty much as we do. So this exhibition is basically a series of moments frozen in time, where the layers of each piece has found a momentary balance. But It’s not about racing against time; rather, it’s about allowing the works to unfold at their own pace. Time becomes like a brushstroke, adding depth and meaning to the visual poetry expressed in the geometry of my art.
