STATEMENT
|
The nexus between music and painting and ways of pictorially
representing sound and silence, have been the main subjects
of my work as an artist since 1980.
|
| This exploration has
many facets from attempts at a pictorial representation
of sound, to the creation of environments (maybe places
or landscapes)
that result from the sensations, feelings, states of mind
and/or visions generated by music.
|
|
My work has gone through different stages from attempts
to illustration of specific musical work to explorations
of aspects of the musical structure itself. This is, of course,
purely subjective
|
|
The final phase of production in my work
is distinguished by a return to painting, almost forgotten
in my eagerness
in use it as a medium instead of a purpose, and the utilization
of all I’ve learned through the years about shaping
a pictorial – not musical – art work,
|
|
which held all the spiritual power of music,
as an autonomous entity, without moving it away from it’s
musical sources by means of referent codes, which, I hope,
made possible
the identification of the theme by the viewer.
|
|
The resolution of this process continues to evolve as I
grow as an artist and a person. It remains my principal challenge
