Manifesto

The result of my approach to art is the insertion of my personal world of sensations – as the rationally and verbally indefinable whole feeding on external impulses, into an individually communicative entity (piece of art), which is then, in the distress of articulation, moulded into picture modules. The inner image hence turned external is, on the one hand, built of the posteriority of recognition, and the psycho-mirror reconstructed from the present, on the other, that is, the perception of magical realms carrying the subject of trauma.

According to my worldview, the original position of human beings can neither be found in Nothing nor in Information, but somewhere stuck in between these two entities, in a state, called Noise, or in other words, in the stream of uncomprehended background messages completely disturbing meaningful enquiry. Therefore, information Noise, which overwrites physical reality in the imagination, and then, causes trauma in the course of perception, becomes the ultimate basic experience in the process of conceiving the image. The trauma pushes in two opposite directions: destruction and creativity. The possible messages, which bear the contents of the communicative entities, can be composed along this dichotomy.

All this – or the process, in which the shapes are turned into form - happens with incredible speed, or rather simultaneously: on a different – mostly not pictorial-emotional, but pictorial-intellectual level of consciousness sustained by particular environments, or spheres. Therefore, all shapes can disappear just as quickly as they came into being.

The rightful claim for meta-subjectivity in this case, is the reference to transhuman recollection.
