Theme: Horizon for academy year 2018-2019

My interpretation to Horizon as follows:

 

Step 1: 18-09-2018

 

Step 2: 9-10-2018

 

 

Step 3: 12-12-2018 – Ratio 1: 1: words : colors

Studies with 3D accumulations & photos:

The tension between the inescapable or unavoidable:

I may have learned something about paintings in the past few years through the academic platforms.

I write texts without any training in this field but only within my feelings and limited knowledge, but I never gave much attention to my writings anyway.  You may call them ‘poems’ or not but the texts have very much influences on my paintings.

Within my creativity,  I now obviously see the link in relation of ratio’s between my writings and paintings!

As Leonardo da Vinci said “Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”

I can feel and see both in my own pallet.

In this theme horizon, I am stipulated or imposed myself in a  line where my past, present and future blend together, always as nostalgia, where the images form within the words and colors as an abutment.

Abutment

It accumulates more and more

concentrates as a rain forest in its core,

the way it always builds up its own piles

with its deep roots in underground of earth

or in the segments of my mind

there are no differences,

deep, thick, sometimes fungal

as nostalgia when the age ripens,

and let the longing more stable within,

makes colors in its every layers

as patterns of evidence of life

and sealed its mark

heavy, unsolved, complicated

but beautiful

even if it looks simple and stands in a line.

The pile,

extracted from the memories of all kinds

as stamps of our own  individual recital.
