THE PLACE I CHOSE TO LIVE
I live in a small Swiss Alps village with 13 inhabitants. The corona virus did not seem to have changed life in this village. In my case, still, many days I haven't met other people, there are very few outside activities and go to the grocery shopping in town once every 7–14 days.
However, there are changes for me as well. I am more connected to the world than ever. I started watching World News. As all, I realise that the world I don't know could directly related to my health and safety. Distant stories are no longer stories of others.
More, I look out the window and observe my surroundings and phenomena. My mind does not stay here, but tries to move space-time to another world. And I bring the scenery and imagination of the day into the studio. I still hold the same brush and paint in a similar everyday life, but we know how this pandemic offers us a new sense of space and vision. Thus, my new painting series during the lockdown, 2020 reflects the new landscape and experience.
Kunstwerk(e)
My painting has although abstract but purposeful process. However, there is a moment when the process of painting an image meets the content drawn. These are moments that can be described as lucky or magical. That is the moment when the process itself is transformed into purpose.
