ARTIST'S STATEMENT

About my art??

"A while ago I discovered paper as an interesting matter to create sculptures. Paper mache.
My interest in faces, masks is reflected in my work. Trying to use the human face to create an image , a certain mood, within the mask.
Two of them representing earth, water- I tried to express how I experience the elements and their qualities in general. Still, paper is a new form and material for me to discover and play with. Whenever I do, let's say paint or draw, I try to express myself, see it as a meditation and try to create something beautiful, for myself and other people. That's my way of healing- healing myself and other people, my way of giving.
Like a poet writes beautiful poems,I try my best to create beautiful things and beautiful art. It's fulfilling, it makes me happy and I'm doing something useful, at least I think so."
