landscape . watercolor on paper 35X50 cm 

The landscape remains behind. What is left is a very full memory containing many years within it. The loss of dependence on “how the branch looks” and what color the cypress is allows for a varied and creative emotional touch, driven by the flame of creation that seeks an empty space in order to redefine the area for itself anew.From now on, it is only energy. It is only an inner, emotional, conceptual monologue of colors and spots, without a clear ending — merely a time-limited documentation of creative energy through colors, satisfying the hunger of the blank paper and feeding it until it is full, and no more.There are no corrections, no absolute ending, no hesitation or doubt — only a path, and that path ends when the energy ends or when there is no longer any need to add anything. What remains on the paper is the result of an excitement capable of gathering and folding within it an independence from the optical world. It is entirely given over to ideas of colors and spots that exist only in that very moment, on the way to creating something else that ends abruptly — something that should not be prolonged unnecessarily, lest it become contaminated by self-replication.Watercolors are the flowing liquid, frozen on the paper and seared in the process of absorption. If there is no emotion, if the space of the paper is not hungry — do not feed it for no reason. Watercolors are light, irreparable, non-erasable, and what remains on the paper is the closest thing to what was created.

  Endlesness. watercolor on paper 35X50 cm art as a proccess . The art of the West views the artwork as a product. It is a painting hung on a wall or in a church for contemplation. It has a purpose, serves a message, and is expected to be a three-dimensional illusion . This is how we were all taught about art. You are judged by the final result, the finished painting commissioned and paid for by the church or a wealthy family that funded it. The client is not interested in the process; they paid for the result. But in painting, there is a process, and there are artists and cultures that emphasize the act of painting as a spiritual activity no less important than the outcome. In Chinese and Japanese cultures , the spiritual act inherent in painting was no less significant than the final goal—the painting itself. In the West, this idea emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. Artists abandoned realistic, illusionistic oil paintings and created more abstract, two-dimensional work...

landscape 35X50 cm on paper . watercolor painting . What is my painting? I look at the landscape, and each time anew, I must remind myself of the simple, yet not obvious, fact that when I compare it to the painting I will create—not of the landscape itself, but inspired by it or in relation to it—it will essentially be the landscape from my own world. The dimensions I will introduce with color, and where there is no color, the lines, the stains, the way they are applied. On one hand, this is so simple and resolved for me, yet on the other hand, this matter returns to me every time anew: how much the external world is ingrained in me, and how much I must create my own world each time anew to overcome it. Because the external world persists, while my own world must be created from zero to one hundred each time anew. In this sense, the painting is not a picture as a final product but a one-time, experiential, intellectual, and emotional formulation of my world in an artistic medium . I...
