Series "One Unfulfilled Dream"
It is about the human aspiration toward an archetypal ideal — a purpose or dream that, somewhere along the way, we have lost due to negligence, civilization, or certain historical circumstances. Through vision, we catch glimpses of fragments from the real world — past, present, or future — that are not real in themselves, but metaphorically, through symbolism, raise important questions.
In terms of technique, the contrast between black and white surfaces highlights the conflict between light and darkness. In this sense, all the works can be seen as dual. This duality is present in the interpretation of each one. With sharp lines and powerful expression, they represent both curse and blessing, suffering and salvation, tribulation and rebirth. In a way, they reflect the idea of a betrayed utopian faith in a better tomorrow — a dream that, when pursued in material terms, lacks true substance. Such a future will never come without an honest and original force, one that only faith in the immaterial — and personal introspection — can provide. A personal prayer.
Often torn between opposing sides, the artist — through a painter’s almost ritualistic act of creative release — strives for eternity, even while being pressured by a civilization that pursues the opposite. Somewhere in this raw and sincere process lies a thread of the “lost art” — which was, and still can be, a truthful reflection of the world and all that surrounds us. At the same time, it is a prayer, a ritual for a better tomorrow.
The “protagonists” of these works arise as side-effects of modern civilization. They exist in meta-time, as allegorical figures. Carrying the weight of both personal and collective histories, they metaphorically portray a current sense of hopelessness — yet with a longing for humanity, empathy, religion, and the original emotional depth of the human being. They strive for a long-lost dream — a dream that can only be achieved through faith, sacrifice, self-denial, and introspection, rather than through today’s materialistic idea of salvation. Every human being walks a thorny, distant path toward true freedom and light.
