and I believe that coming from a dual
background is the cornerstone of my
fluid approach to various issues.
Experiencing both together, and
realizing their mutual influence, caused
cultures, languages and locations
intermix in a way that made me much
less prone to binary divisions. This is an
approach that I carried through to my
work, wherein, for example, I`ve
always found the separation between
theory and practice to be superficial
and extraneous. This allowed me great
freedom in perusing my own ideas
regarding beauty, especially my
perception of beauty, as well as of
humor and sexuality, as artistic
instruments that can convey the
subversive power of pleasure. This
sense of freedom also enabled me to
search for my own aesthetic, believing
that traditional figurative drawing and
painting techniques can find relevance
in the contemporary post-modern
discourse, and it`s also what motivated
my diverse academic pursuits.
