PRECARIOUS EQUILIBRIUM OF AMBIVALENT STATES
My geometric abstraction body of works paints a world of dynamic shapes and colors – mirroring the diversity of humankind and the fluidity of the human condition.
The modern world has been shown to be made up of fragments that exist in ambivalent, conflicting states. Quantum physics uncovered atomic components that exist as both particles and waves. Modern psychology investigates elements of the human psyche that war with each other. Contemporary religions, economics and politics underwent seismic schisms. My paintings visually represent such a world, of waves and particles, of moods and psychic energy, of political, economic and social structures in ambivalent states precariously teetering between order and chaos.
I invite the viewer to enter a moment of quiet meditation, to see through the paintings’ chaotic appearance a sense of order, of deep connection, of harmony in the whole.
