Traces of Gold

27 May – 15 June 2008
“A step aside from the road of the graphics, the black and the white, from the dramatics. Quoting the classic, a friend said “ If the beauty couldn’t save the world, let us save the beauty.”
May be I am eager for more beauty, and as everything in my life gives me inspiration, i naturally created these works as a contrast to the ugliness, and the missing part of the whole.
For me everything starts from the drawings. It is the door to my world. This time the drawings has but on its official outfit. This time the drawings inspired me to unite and harmonize in one different materials and means of expression. Thread, chalk, etching, oil painting on canvas, golden foil, wood relief.
And so searching for new answers, i didn’t gave up my own discoveries. Now in front of you at the end of the road stands the natural result out of this. The road towards BEAUTY.
