Artist's Statement
Description:
How to make an illusion reach a viewer through a painting, and similarly to have the theater, the dance
reach the viewer? Maybe if one could express how it feels to be on stage in the same manner as when
the viewer submerges themselves from the opposite side. This way the one viewing the painting would
acknowledge a different world, in which its participants forget everything for that ephemeral pleasure.
If I could reach the illusion inside of the pictorial illusion, in this case it wouldn’t depend on time and
space; rather that the illusion wouldn’t have limits.
I being the first viewer saw an obvious difference, something was the real thing, expressing something
different on the stage, and the painting was the illusion of the illusion. The beginning of the
representation in the 2 dimensions, of the 3 commonly known, and the absence of the boundary of time
and space, generated really deep changes. And that would amplify the perceptual and psychological
possibilities. It would be like again doubting and questioning matters apparently overcome by art. It
would be better to do it from the tension between the past and the contemporary. It would be giving a
contemporary and a valid place to the illusion.
The duality represented in my artworks is that the eloquence, as naturalism, the material object
represented will transform to immaterial. Apparently opposed, I believe will be the discussion in strain in
this sort of pictorial illusion. Finally or illusorily, the mimesis will be the path for the immaterial.
