Fleeing by night / Fleeing by night2
Life experience and my works are interconnected. I’m not a man of words, I only know how to communicate with others through the most direct, most frank means. As the proverb goes, “At 30, one would not stagger, and at 40, one begins to understand the world.” I began creating Fleeing by Night in mid 2013, which forced me to ask myself many questions. At the same time, I was working with many different artists, which helped to answer a lot of questions. This also gave life to my creation, allowing it to grow and evolve…
One of the functions of art is to lead people to think. Not just to move them, but to create space for discussion
through contradictions in thought. With a new edition, new life experiences and new collaborations, I look forward too, to new discussions among the audience.
