Sonnenhaft “Bearing the essence of the sun” is a series of works on the correspondence between light as a physical phenomenon and the sense of sight as a subjective impression, translated by Goethe as: ‚If the eye were not sun-like, / It could never behold the sun. The ever-changing light plays a pivotal role here, as it constantly transforms objects and perceptions in countless ways. This mirrors the universal concept of the infinite essence present in all things. For me, observing the light and changes around me is observing time. Accordingly, as the external landscape changes, so does my internal landscape, and therefore I become part of this ongoing process. The changes in colour nuances are suggestive; they represent inner perceptions and states of mind. The process of my painting is a progressive exploration of my inner landscapes, which are both actual and abstract. They are composed of memories that are like ‚photographic prints‘, which are then overlaid by time with sedimentary layers of new, moving impressions. In my painting I use a process of erasing and building like nature does. I like to convey my message through the light of my relief works, passing it to the eyes of others and then on to their inner selves.
