Every piece of land around me is burned. I blame man and its religion, but the only thing I care about are the children on that land. I believe they are the only ones that matter, the only ones that do not carry responsibility for this situation but they are in it, they experience it, they live and grow in it.
I observe the children's coping with the help of creation and understand that through a childish and playful creation it is possible to break free from the land they are on, and to make a positive action. I intend to work with basic materials accessible to children. I look for a positive and active discourse around art and its ability to change people's perception. I expect a critical environment of different individuals from all over, and to extend my craft by learning from them.
My work expands the boundaries of painting through installations and actions. and offers a different view of reality and its elements: by using the basic materials of painting. My works are saturated with colors, revealed after looking at their vulnerability.
