CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
role of memory in your work? We are particularly interested in how you consider memory and its evocative role in showing an alternative way to escape and overcome the recurrent reality.
Generally I can describe the role of memory in painting as essential. Physical human presence in certain environment causes summing up the feelings of different senses. Best paintings of land and seascapes are made live, unfortunately it is not always possible – then memories can help a lot( memory of not only images but also reminiscences of wind, smell, sunshine or cold).
Human being usually finds comfort in the nature, sometimes people are longing to escape from civilization. A certain kind of escape and overcoming the recurrent reality, an element evoking memories may be a painting – made under influence of artist’ s personal environment perception, while having viewer’ s vivid feedback and associations.
We appreciated the way“ Spices of Arabia“ creates a point of convergence between a kind of imagery belonging to universal imagery and direct experience with concrete aesthetics you convey through a personal language. So we would take this occasion to ask you if in your opinion personal experience is an absolutely indispensable part of a creative process. Do you think that a creative process could be disconnected from direct experience?
