Artist Statement

Visual Art is all about passing energy to other people through the symbols and vibration of lines, color wavelengths, and shapes of the artwork in a space that surrounds it, while the meaning of the artwork is not only what composition actually presents, but a specific structure of that art piece, that makes a human being able to notice a beauty as a source of harmony.

Artists are navigating our thoughts, to create a new reality. Public that is observing art pieces are the triggers that spread every creation they analyzed. This means that observers are shaping the world together with the artist, by putting gradually the message of the artwork in reality, just like the sea waves are shaping stones on a coast.

So what is the shape of an art piece then? The shape of the art piece exists to transfer the energy not through physical material it is made of, but by the idea, that is hidden within its composition and shines through the information field of that artwork when it is initiated by audience observation and analyses.
