artist statement
I pity the world.
Because it is structurally incomplete and dependent on their existing on products which made by existence one`s.
I exist, but I am a life and also being a world, and I am interested in translating the world around me. I can be a rebellious, can deny and criticize the world.
I started by revealing personal stories in painting, usually i used the trauma. It started with compassion for oneself and the desire to escape my reality. Packing it beautifully for myself was a painting, and it was quite satisfying at the time, but when I realized that this was not the art I looking for after, I admitted my weakness and I was ashamed, and I slowly forgot to be a state flee. I was not interested in painting or the technical part through traditional training. It is because I did not start for this recognition, although the level of this is certainly respectable. I'm dedicated to art to translate the world, but I see it as a means. I have talent of compassion for those around me, and its has turned into a willingness to translate the world. This became an important reason why my work make a flow into painting to expression, from expression to believe, and from believe to image.
I'm concerned, images are the most essential state painting can reach. Because it is not a possession, and at the same time it is a state of possibility, not of production. The point I am reaching now is the image. That means we've reached the point where i can draw nothing. Now I can image 'nothingless'. As far as I'm concerned, image are the most essential state that painting can reach. Because it is not a possession, and at the same time it is a state of possibility, not of production. The point I am reaching now is the image.
That means we've reached the point where i can draw nothing. Now, I can see image of nothingless.
I don't want to make along with producing illusions commercially to control individual thoughts or fascinate them for my own benefit. So my effort is not put on my images into any ideology or symbol, any personal suffering, storytail, any message and belief, that goal is involved non-limits the possibility of translation. What I'm challenging now is the deletion for Possibility of possession to artwork, which is a provocation to desire, the most basic principle that commercialization stimulates humans. Because art as I know it is not an instrument of producing the desires of those in society and keeping them in fantasy, but an act of revealing the possibility of understanding and compassion for the world. Therefore, i can tell you that my work is a means to reveal the world. However, they only take a negative stance on creating the possibility of possession with commercial products. Because if it's used for personal use, not for commercial use, i believe that have state which is like admitting that the possibility of ownership doesn't exist, and people can't collect; they just know that have an image for a moment.
Through this, I want to reveal the great illusion that the community creates, the structure of oblivion using it,
and I hope that these actions will free our world by not relying on the empty fantasies created by our products, but the possibilities themselves willing.
