title
The inaccessible simplicity of what it is
We are experiencing a dark time, a new Middle Ages, dominated by a state of mental imprisonment, by supposed truths accepted as absolute, by the inability to get the Essence of Things, crushed beneath the weight of futility. Faced with indifference and unconsciousness, it is essential that awareness should be developed.
Where is man in the world? Between dark and brightness, superficiality and depth, there is space for a choice. We should find the way to sprout.
The white space, empty in power, is the land of the lost correspondence between Life and Essence.
He received International awards in major contests.

entry description
My work explores human nature and the relationship with the world in evolutionary terms touching on critical topics of contemporary life. I currently work with staged photography by hand painting the elements of the scene. I staged allegories using the plant symbolism. Thus for Night of mind I built a brambles cage.We are experiencing a dark time, a new Middle Ages, dominated by a state of mental imprisonment, by supposed truths accepted as absolute, by the inability to get the Essence of Things, crushed beneath the weight of futility. Faced with indifference and unconsciousness, it is essential that awareness should be developed.
