CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
biologically determined one. Although we can observe a changing medium in my creation, the transcription of perception – the balance between the subjective and objective – is rather constant and concise in my works. The acts of combing the figurative with the abstract depends on a particular project, or idea. Many artists during their creative path go through various periods of their art making. Clinging to one medium was once called being consistent, but it has little to do with freedom. It is said that Piccasso when asked a question: Master, what would you do if you were in prison and you didn’ t have anything to draw? answered: I would draw with shit( Jean Clair DE immundo). Perception as a phenomenon has a significant value for me, since thanks to it we may distill something and reverse, for example, the understanding, or we may change the focus of the viewer. I believe that balance concerns the composition of the work / project – it completes the content, or it is the content. The way I work was shaped in the times of academic approach to education. I believe printmaking had a great influence on me in particular woodcut and screen printing, which dominated my studies in Mons in Belgium. This search for colour, which was a composition content, was then the scope of my action.‘ Exit into space’ made me think in a different way. The context is very important in case of site-specific, or installation works. The context of place, time and history – both the context that concerns the place and my answer brought about by the relation with the place
