New Ways for Expressing Reality Situation

Art is all abstract, meaning that art incorporates with the world and separates one aspect of it to show us a fact and refresh our understanding of the world.

Visiting classical artworks (with specific subjects), visitors become passive,because everything is clear. But when encountering abstract art, one needs to thing and accept the challenge. I have tried to create this encountering and involvement in my artworks.

I have tried not to explicitly represent subjects in the following artworks.Although the motivation of beginning of these works were based on ” subject”, I have never stand by any commitment to the common realism. Considering that in most of the works, looking down on earth was in a way that induces an imagination of depth and perspective, any point in these works, like any thing in life, can have a meaning.  Definitely a visitor of abstract works is deprived of recognition of a clear reality but faces with other aspects of reality.

I have used freely the materials in creating these works. Putting aside the traditional connection with canvas and painting tools, I have experienced new ways. The result of this change was new quality and visual aspects brought to me, for example, a new texture was created that induces depth and movement, or with controlling the colors, I have increased the influence of the forms. The fluidity of materials when painting provided me with experiencing more expressing possibilities and this is a satisfying and convincing feeling for a painter.
