The texture of this piece of art is mesmerizing. Canvas texture (burlap), paste texture, paint texture. It wants to be considered for a long time.
These signs in the artwork are my signatures. I did them until I heard Stop inside me! There were 54 of them in this artwork. I cannot explain why this is so. It's a deep subconscious.
"I am"
All artworks from this series are my self-portraits. Images come to mind in an instant. They are a manifestation of various uncontrolled deep mental processes in my work with subsequent representation.
I believe that an artist should have a voice, talk about the topical issues, raise important critical issues of modern life through creativity. However, in addition to the conceptual, the unconscious comes to me, which I cannot always explain.
In this way I study myself, my identity and psyche.
