The spacial journey of human beings

I like to think critically about art’s role in today’s society: the way it is used for communicating experience, issues and how it stimulates personal interaction and imagination. My former education has taught me to push controversial buttons and inspire creative ideas across highly diverse disciplines. In fact, my interest in contrasting topics (from sociology to mathematics) derives from my ability to combine them under a single picture: using my artistic talent as means of illustrating my journey as an increasingly aware student. People call me perfectionist. I respond: “this is not perfectionism; it is having patience and determination in the hope of completing an outstanding piece of work.” In Visual Arts, this initiative drives me to create breathing works of art out of pencil (or pen) and white paper.

With respect to my own artwork, my aim is to place my body of work in a universal context, beyond any social boundaries; I have isolated the human body from any cultural references by stripping away faces, distinguishable backgrounds and clothing, and even gravity.  This way, the body’s appearance becomes vague and anonymous, and could plausibly relate to every single one of us.

If describing my artistic intention on a more personal level, I consider art as one of the most profound acts of introspection into my body and a reflection of my growth of thought. For this reason, there isn’t a particular or universal intention behind my creative portrayals, but the benefit that it brings to my personal understanding and appreciation of the world surrounding me.

Often, what I make is a translation and adaptation of my knowledge in various disciplines, from biology to mathematics, into a visual form. Mathematics, for example, occupies a significant segment my creative processes. In conjunction with the fact that I use it to reproduce appealing and proportionate figures, I consider mathematics as the essential tool to describe the objects around us. As some of my pieces available on this blog will demonstrate, because I believe that mathematics shapes a parallel dimension, which lies beyond our perception, I decided to replace the traditional interpretation of reality with an alternative approach to represent the space and the energy enclosed in our bodies. That is to say, by switching mathematics to the center of my artistic concern, I am trying to propose a visual version of that invisible scope, which coexists with our presence in the universe.
