“japanese lantern and table top

Light is also the subject of the series of ink drawings entitled “a Japanese lantern and a table top”. In this series, light becomes less a physical force and more a beacon for higher consciousness. This consciousness was born out of a dialogue between shapes and realities. I started drawing this series as a result of a powerful dream in which I was identified as a Japanese lantern and a tabletop. Trying hard to understand the inherent symbolism I proceeded to envision a conversation between a triangle and a rectangle.

Using red and black ink as well as the whiteness of the paper I tried to create a coherent, dynamic interaction between imagination and solidity: between heaven and earth. I worked quickly and intensely and after a couple of sleepless nights I was able, through the drawings, to commit to both total abstraction and expressive content.”
