Juicy Strokes [Turning Classical Paintings into Contemporary Artworks]
In my attempt to study classical painting and analyze the brush stroke, the light, the poetry of the painting and it's earthly choice of color, I quickly realized there is nothing I can add to an art that has been mastered and perfected.In search of something unique and personal, I found out that there is only one thing I can do that will enrich these paintings - the thing was simply taking away everything from it, de-constructing it, destroying it and reassembling it.I took away the brush strokes, the light and the poetry of the paintings and made them bolder, stronger - "juicier".Keeping the authentic feel and rhythm of the painting, I strove to perfect the art of taking away from it while keeping its soul intact.In my opinion modern era has helped a lot with this concept, it is rare to find time to ponder the details of the artwork. We are using speed to quickly scan the painting, and moving on into the next. The Masters I chose to take from are:
Botticelli
Caravaggio
David
Micheal Angelo
Rafaello
Rubens
Titian
Vermeer

Liquid Dreams is an art series I decided to make using the thematic concept of dreams as a subject - a project that took me two years to accomplish.

The Book of Fragments Volume 2 is a continuation of artworks from the first volume (Book of Fragments) which was published in 2018. Whereas the first book explored contemporary topics in landscape, this volume focused more on the deeper inner struggles of human existence.
Life has changed a lot in the past years, and narratives such as chivalry, honor, faith and deeper meanings have been lost in the process of machines taking over.
We sleep with machines, eat with machines and are on the verge of thinking like machines. One can’t help but keep wondering, where will this all eventually lead humanity to?
In this book, I attempted to self-discover and explore. What does it mean to be human, what does it mean to be separated from one self? If we took our parts fragment by fragment, will we still be human?
The era has changed and the vocabulary followed suit. I somehow found myself trapped in the in-betweens of what is right and what is wrong.
Book of fragments volume 2 is my response to what my soul has been experiencing, where my mind has wandered, and where my thoughts have traveled to. This is a crucial era of change, and I, like many others are struggling to find meaning without losing our soul. I hope one will find solace and understanding in this body of work. It was a one-year process of experimentation and I hope this book illustrates the new language I tried to speak. And so, with the grace of God others will hear and understand.
