Artist statement
There is a creative part in every person, whether an artist or not. It is the challenge of the artists, today, to bring that side out. My conception of modern art, or the art of the third millennium, focuses on the 4th dimension, that is the creative thinking.
A piece of art should narrate a story, people should tell stories about it, or read something in it. Paintings or drawings should approach people and get them to extract the fourth dimension in every art work. Even if people reached different conclusions, or ended up telling different stories about an artwork, the basic idea is to wake up the creative thinking in everyone.
The way people approach the objectives in fine art does not have to match what the artist had in mind, as the fourth dimension has two faces; one from the artist side, and one from the viewer/observer. Many people can see their own thoughts and ideas expressed in paintings or drawings that they did not make.
