title
The Inner Invisible
This feeling finds its expressive and symbolic function in colour, placing emphasis on emotion. Colour becomes a communicative bridge between human beings and the outside world, a reflection of spiritual balance that allows one to "feel" the invisible. Where light meets colour in a reversed horizon, where perception of the "known" is lost, it is there that human beings find their innermost need, combining intimate harmony and spirituality in the abstract song of colour and lines. Colours are like moods, the sea and the sky, vehicles of intimate feelings, here they become fields of colour. The most intimate unknown finds it's voice in overturning what is real, deconstructing a known landscape across what seems our own interior necessity.
