Motto


My art is my personal polemic about beauty and fragility. Beauty, which lifts the viewer into the world of elusiveness and ephemeralismin when comes to contact with the ruthlessness of the surrounding reality, and the cruel, harsh and brutal world, can easily be destroyed. We are seeing this destruction everywhere. Fragil beauty and ideals are gradually and consistently destroyed in front of our eyes.

In my work gaze is dyed, glued and sewn together to resemble organic elements of the world around us. I build my  artwork from many elements.  Just like the DNA chain in its sequencing can create various combinations, I use delicate and brittle matter, tearing and crushing it, piece by piece, arranging my own, original, three-dimensional mosaic.

An essential, integral element in creating my work is the destruction. I wonder what is creation? What is the difference between a creative act and an act of destruction, and where is the line between them? The object that I am building is devoid of any function and has no application. It is my personal language of communication with the viewer, it is supposed to evoke associations, activate the imagination, but also act on the aesthetic sensitivity, provoking to undertake the interwoven discourse about the place, rank and value of beauty.

艺术理念


我的艺术作品表现了美丽和脆弱的矛盾关系。美的感受将观者带离周围残酷的现实世界,进入一个难以捉摸、转瞬即逝的美的世界,但美是易碎的,稍纵即逝。我们随处都能看到这种美的破坏,美的脆弱。


我的作品中,常看到材料被染色、粘合和缝合在一起,就像我们周围世界的有机元素一般。我用很多元素来构建我的艺术作品,就像DNA链在排序时可以产生各种组合一样,我用脆弱易碎的物质,一块一块地撕裂和粉碎它,再如拼马赛克般重新排列拼接我个人的、原创的、三维的作品。



我在创作品时,一个不可或缺重要的步骤就是破坏。我思考什么是创造?创造和破坏之间的区别是什么?它们之间的界线在哪里?我创造的作品没有任何功能性。它是我个人与观者沟通的语言,它可以唤起观者联想,激活他们的想象,刺激他们的审美,挑起对美的价值的探讨。
