My approach to art is deeply philosophical and contemplative. My paintings reflect a unique perspective that blends elements from the ancient past with glimpses of the future. I am well-versed in both traditional and modern art, recognizing the significance of the latter while not becoming overly captivated or confined by it. I un- derstand the limitations of human capabilities in creating art and view it as a relative process, appre- ciating that even the most talented artists have their boundaries.
I respect the achievements of modern artists, ac- knowledging their valuable contributions to the ar- tistic world. However, I don’t linger solely in the realm of contemporary art; rather, I use its accom- plishments as a foundation to propel me further. I seek a higher form of expression, possibly aiming to create art that transcends the confines of the logical world and ventures into the realm of the spiritual and divine.
In the “new city of Grace,” a journey begins when the artist’s soul, seeking truth, embarks on a spiritu- al quest, a metaphorical flight. If through art’s cre- ation a purification unfolds, with layers of meaning,
beyond the surface. In that case, the brush strokes whisper secrets untold, from the “new city.”
Overall, my perspective on art seems to be char- acterized by a balanced appreciation for both tradi- tion and modernity, while also aspiring for a more profound and transcendent artistic experience.

The revolution in contemporary art is a signifi-
cant departure from traditional aesthetics and es- tablished norms. It embraces a newfound sense of freedom, allowing each artist to express their inter- pretation of life and beauty without being bound by previous conventions. This liberation leads to a wide range of innovative and diverse artistic expressions.
One such manifestation is the emergence of the “theatre of the absurd.” This genre of theater reflects the prevailing confusion and disorientation of the contemporary world in a stylized and often surreal manner. It explores the absurdity of human exis- tence, the lack of clear meaning, and the breakdown of conventional communication. Through this art form, artists attempt to portray the perplexing and disorienting nature of modern life.
