The Artist
Self Portrait 2006
Life / Milestones / Projection
I entered the gates of Art at an advanced age, and made my way by myself, with subtle hints
along the way that helped me get deeper and gain a strong alliance that eventually reached a
full understanding of who I am and how to master the most subtle nuances.
My basic urge to an Abstract Depth and occasionally a pinch of figurative touches lead me to
seek semantic logic and a perfect ending to the work, although sometimes I have a tendency
to be accessible and create a dialogue with a greater audience while maintaining its pure
artistic quality, obviously ;)
Ever since I can remember I have always had a strong and incomprehensible attraction to
scarecrows, that expressed in a special feeling and indicative of positive similarities between
the scarecrow character and me, such as observation, understanding, and judgment, which
ends in a circular way, in the objective distinction of non-intervention, as a guiding rule.

Reflections / Statement
The perfect eternal magic
The quest into creative depth, which its essence is observation, judgment, intuition, and personal touch as well as its presentation in the universal language, as a statement evolving from two points of view: both emotional and rational, is the pinpoint towards the promotion of human perception for wondering, feeling, objectivity, and moral questions, that are supposed to elevate the passion for understanding, hugging, life, and to one’s self.
The ability to penetrate beyond the abstract, within the continuous creative process and to be able to find defined existing patterns in it and to weave out of them, consciously and unconsciously perfection which its reason stands for itself, enabling the connection and the relation of creator, creation, and audience while giving a naughty or even challenging wink, leading the river stream down to the mighty ocean, is, and no other, god’s gift to the eternal and perfect magic and the pinnacle of the pure creation
Since poetry, as a creative method is the naked purification of the abstract and the complete precision of the essence of the meaning in its full strength, with a pinch of expression and the inclusion of components such as layers, syllogism, tone, semantics, etc. thus presenting itself as the gate of intellectuality's firmament, combining together completely different states of matter, into a sparkle of life and a cosmic infinite ray of light, which reflects pure art from its emergence, from ancient caves and until the peak of human’s spirit and his heritage for eternity. Let’s embrace this sparkle of life and elevate the values of existing and the universe’s origins to the stage’s front to the direct, obvious cornerstone, which is the globe, our perfect earth to which we thank and bless for its existence and blessing to enable light, pulse and spiritual elevation to the sky, the whole universe and far far beyond.
