TOMORROW BEGINS TODAY
The artistic creation is a personal act, therefore it has a universal cosmopolitan value and its existence is not bound to a particular environment, but belongs in itself to the cosmopolitan principles. The starting point of every artistic endeavor has its point of origin first of all in the place, in the time, in the life and in the most positive tradition in relation to the past, the present and the future. True artistic values determine the identity and legitimacy of the place where they originate, and in time can become an indispensable value for all humanity. By striving for the highest civilizational goals, I would like to create with my art, above all, a perspective for the realization of new artistic experiments that will ennoble human life through the humanity of my worldview.
Today I am in the phase of research efforts in the field of art and society as a whole, and for this I am looking for a foothold in the unlimited spaces of human existence, starting from Altamira up to the present day. With the conviction that tomorrow begins today. My artistic and creative curiosity is expressed through the core activities of design, sculpture, painting, and photography. For this occasion, I took over 4,000 photos at dozens of locations.
At this moment, I wanted to present myself with photography, and above all with sunsets, which is considered by experts to be one of the most subtle and delicate artistic challenges in photography.
Sunsets, light and color have always been vague and a great inspiration for the greatest impressionist painters, such as Claude Monet’s palace. In addition to those types of photographs, I also deal with multimedia photography and portraits. It seems to me that at this moment in time there is a big task that should satisfy my creative and intellectual curiosity as a provocation to the currently dehumanized reality and future that distances man from nature and himself. yourself.
