In my painting, I find it very challenging to consider
a "TIME". We all know that the linear time is a concept,
yet it has a very good proof to be linear - the Universe evolves, so one can say the Time goes
by. But how do you paint life that is constantly slipping away? The element of
instability is a part of my paintings. Every stroke is a mortal attempt to stop "the
unstoppable", to picture the "unpictureable".
Ever-changing
motion of forms and shapes cannot be described, cannot be painted.
This is what C. Monet was talking about in his "impressionist's theory" of
art (or of life). It is just never the same, not a single day of life,
not a single moment of existence.

It might feel scary to go places where
no one has been
before! Is it? Of course it is. Human education is limited to what we learned
in schools, limited to our own conclusions, which are still within the realms of our
logics. Of course, I get goose bumps when I think of where I am planning to
go. These are the "Great Fears " humanity continues to deal with since we
began registering our
culture. "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" talks about it straight
forward (it makes our fears appear as monsters in the sky, as creatures covering the whole
Universe: how precisely said,
when you fear, it seems as the whole world is a dark monster).
Jesus assures us of God's love beyond our fears;
he says "Do not be afraid....." repeatedly.
