These paintings belong in a book on art therapy or self-therapy, and were never meant to be hung up on the wall. They mostly handle emotionally and psychologically charged and demanding processes, to which I have tried to give a shape and colour. They must be studied as evidence of the identity crisis and emotional turbulence that I went through at the time. They helped me in my search for roots and in my quest to define myself. They also contain thoughts and reactions to life events, and crucial matters in my life.
Each one is explained in a manner that, I hope, makes its overall idea and message clear to the viewer.
Most of these paintings have been in my Exhibition (1995).
I hesitated in posting them on the net, but decided that if treated as part of my past history - all the things I have overcome - it will become clear that one can go through such matters and grow, leaving them behind as footsteps that have led to this day, which is a different era in many respects, from the time they were painted in.
I do recommemd painting highly to people going through any kind of crisis, or just wanting to relax and let their mind conjure images that arise from the depths of their consciousness or even from their subconscious. One does not have to be an artist and painter to do it. I am not, and have done it. So, anyone can do it!
Hoping you take no offence at some of the rather "grim", maybe even a bit frightening projections. They are outbursts that are meant to clear the soul and prevent the mind from getting jammed. Once they are out of one´s system, one feels purified and can move on. Some people erroneously think that a painting testifies to a person being stuck or fixed on that idea. The opposite is true! Once it is out, new winds and thoughts fill the mind. The progression is usually from severe to milder then milder.
Besides, I am an amateur and this is just a hobby I am sharing with you, which I do not take very seriously. Neither need you!
