Art it is.

Art is obsessive mania. It is manifested through thousands of contraband images, broken dreams and memories, architectural manipulations or merely counting stains on a Brooklyn street wall. I paint painted spaces, never real spaces. I need to transform, sometimes just to exercise the mind or simply to surprise myself or excite others.
Since 2015, I have taken on painting again on a road of no return. I am now interested in telling stories through my paintings by returning to childhood memories which will help me lift a new practice based on the concept of re-emergence. Paraphrasing Bitta Timm Knudsen, re-emergence as a concept, produces an apparent paradox between a return of something and something new, appearing. Re-emergence transgresses this paradox. Any emergence of past un-acknowledged possibilities actualized at specific time or moment, or, to rephrase it, re-emergence is a lost opportunity from the past that returns to offer itself for creating alternative futures. Contrary to both repression and removal and like reframing, re-emergence allows the ghosts to re-appear as new futures. The notion of basing my new work on past ghosts drives my praxis.
