About my ‘ON THE WAY’ series of paintings

I was always amazed by how children’s naivety is reflected within their very early sketches and paintings. This naivety, one may say, can be attributed to their luck of sufficient experiences and underdeveloped yet ability to digest and register the ones they already have. In addition, their not fully developed ability yet to hold and handle the pencil or the brush, underlines this expressional naivety. 

In this early stage, children don’t anticipate to seriously commit themselves to exact illustrations of reality since they still don’t have preconceived notions in reference or rules, or methods, neither hierarchy.  Spontaneously, they are using abstraction to express exactly what is filtered through their mind and soul.

Exactly this kind of naivety is the one I am trying to express on a first place. I am trying to see again with a fresh eye all the seriousness around me in a much lighter way.

The artistic object which intentionally is repeated in all my paintings of this series is the car. The car here literally becomes the vehicle for my intentional predisposition.

By the use of vivid colour, texture, brushstroke and distorted illustration I am trying to express ‘THIS’ naivety always committed of course to my adult experience.
