A SEARCH IN SPACE
Starting from a form, which created by an oscillating sound, that occupies space in a very peculiar way, the artist has already had a vision of the events that would leave a trace on his piece of art.
The painting appears as a result of a sound vibration, set in the centre of attention. However, each new piece of art is marked by a new sound wave, in a form which tends to communicate. The sketch announces a beginning of a very unusual communication among the artist, music and colors, which in this case releases the power of the word and delivers the viewer the power of the sound, all colored. At first, they communicate secretly. A communication between the rectilinear and amorphous sound develops. The rectilinear sound can not put up with any influence and therefore embarks the amorphous one in the world of change, without a warning! It is this sound that communicates with other similar sounds and is the bearer of the communication itself.

In the moment when one gets the impression that the amorphous sound is the artist himself, the level of communication increases. The artist, transformed into sound, is actually a sound searching appropriate form in order to express himself visually. Entering such a dimension, he becomes disembodied and the strength of his ego decreases, transforming itself into pure positive energy. In such a state only, the artist is able to communicate with the external reality around him, moving in all directions, feeling released. Each painting is a secret passage to a shelter where, difficult as it is to discover if the artist entered the sound, or the sound entered the artist, all limits have been lost and space has disappeared with no obstacles. All of a sudden, it is possible to go everywhere and to reach everything, and you do not have to go anywhere to reach everything. It is the sound itself that leads up to the threshold of a feeling of infinity. Whether that threshold should be crossed or not is a decision of individual nature.
From one piece of art to another, the artist imposes a rhythm which he acquires himself, following it and accepting it as a rhythm of life. The artist is totally aware of the things he wants to say in each sketch and he does so, in a very precise and simple way, so that he could easily be comprehended by everybody. He is constantly in touch with the purity of his personality, which itself is a subject of cleansing and at the same time he cleans and clears the sound, accomplishing communication with the viewer through the sketch itself. It is in this way that the communication spreads around. The viewer is initiated into a discussion about the pieces at art, he listens to the oscillations of the colors, painted in the sketch, that do not allow for the communication to be interrupted in the relation artist – music – color.
The artist subconsciously becomes a searcher in Space. Under the influence of the sound, he releases himself from the definiteness and his work enables communication on higher levels. Listening to the sounds, that through colors silently tell that the quest has not been over with the act of completion of the pieces of art, they look forward to a new beginning, moving towards the audience that sets off into a personal search for each individual piece of art, thus opening new records.
