“By Way of Sight”

Every quest begins with “sight” and it is “distance” that is required to be able to see. I observe
what surrounds me, whatever stands at a distance, in search of my boundaries; where “I” ends
and another begins.
This series, entitled “By Way of Sight”, is an attempt at studying the subjectivity and objectivity of
our own existence which, aside from the presence of the painter and subjectivity in the context,
continues in the absence of figures and through objects, exploiting the veils between and exploring
the hidden facets of “I”.
The exhibited works, created between the years 2016 and 2022, are the result of a quest for our
own “being” among objects depicted in disarray.
