My second solo exhibition MeleM (lit. Salve) encompassing twenty five of my collages printed on canvas was set to be opened on March 21, but due to the C19 lockdown, it was postponed to unspecified date. For that reason, I have decided to post an online selection of fifty pieces of artwork (created between June 2019 and the first days of May 2020) including seven brand new ones which haven't been previously published anywhere.
Draped in shimmering haze of introspective musings, these images exist on the very edge of innate chaos, somewhere between shapeshifting myth, amaranthine mystery and crumbling reality. Stubbornly phantasmagorical, they continually dissolve into the blinding light of unconsciousness from which the fragile world of agitated serenity emerges. They are heralds of primeval secrets yet to be awaken from their timeless, fairy tale-like slumber; they are Dreams of Brown Sugar and Sand in an endless desert of hope and despair...
