What is happening around us? What is happening inside each of us?

​

What do we feel, and how do we experience it?

​

It seems to me that our world is so fleeting that we stop noticing something and lose focus. Starting with everyday life, routine, work processes, the feeling of a successful or not-so-successful day, and ending with global issues such as war, society, culture, and everything that happens around. Thus, the balance of one with the other is lost.

​

In this series of works created from 2021-2023, I experience all of this on my own, sometimes in balance and sometimes not at all. This is precisely what I want to express as sincerely as possible on the canvas. It can be seen in bright and naive colors and expressive compositions.

​

In this art exhibition, I want the viewer to focus a little on his personal, genuine feelings, both everyday and global.

​​

For the sake of interpretation, the works are divided; to the left, one can view positive narratives; to the right, negative ones; and in between them, everything that happened, and I managed to keep it somewhat balanced. Perhaps text clues in the form of calligraphic inscriptions will help grasp and experience the work's context.
