BFA Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT: There is no script, no preparation of any sort before I paint. Staring blandly at a canvas, imagining the future painting, and waiting for my intuition to spark, this is the way how I start and process my work. I pour, drip, and sprinkle thin or thick oil pigments over the layers of canvas; I let brush dances around with its own rhythm and decency; I treat every inch of canvas equally. I let painting be free from any restrictions; I allow them to express their own emotion, as they are part of me, and part of me is in them; we keep debating back and forth - until -we both agree to dance Waltz together. For me, the process of the painting is also the process of innermost perception.
