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
