I am working with a concept of transformation of a simple scene from the nature into a rhythmical code of space, tone and line. It is a graphical representation of my belief in simplicity, in finding the true nature. My artistic language is developing the contrast of tone and lines integrating the one spatial biorhythm. The combination of expressive black and white contour is working on different levels of perception. The plasticity of the images are forming a complex space and mimicking a trace of human consciousness. Purity of the white background striped with dark, visually expands the border, creating an optical illusion of continuation, symbolizing duration of time, which equals the speed of artist gesture, divided by the heart beat. The choice of media was particularly caused by my intention, since graphite monolith is the softest stage in the formation of the hard diamond. I believe that any small beginning may grow unlimited.
