welcome to my world
Although my paintings are not quite separated from everyday life, they do not reflect it directly. For me, painting is a way of expressing our inner fantasies and imaginations and giving life to images that are deep in our subconscious. I’d rather avoid mainstream, fashionable and dominant themes that tend to carry away the artist or the art in general. Instead of reproducing exotic themes, I rather create my own mental images by passing over appearances and penetrating into life itself with all its bitterness and darkness.
Meanwhile, in order to avoid viewers’ distraction and keep them focused, I reduce the number of elements in my paintings as much as possible. My main goal is to express my inner thoughts and nightmares through themes like body, hands, mutilations, carcasses, and metamorphosis in an incongruous space. For me, these mutilated, transformed and even metamorphic bodies are survivors of our everyday life and innate experiences which is not limited to special time and space.
