About the art

Artist statement
The textural subtlety of white absorbs and purifies. Our mixed emotions simultaneously blend into harmony. Strokes move back and forth bringing our consciousness to the edge, without ever having to fight it, the darkness is eventually filtered and dispelled.
Gate of the outer world or the space between abstract and non-abstract, physical and non-physical. There is a key of the meaning of our life. What is human being how to be enlightened. The intertwining white lines recall memories and deepen the mystery, they travel far as thoughts live. We are what our thoughts have made us. Emotions pass, beauty remains. Sometimes we just have to let the sorrow percolate for a while.
