Art is, yet, another science of realizing the world from within out and the other way around, as well as a language to communicate the conclusive interpretations to others. The both factors of acquiring and propagating are eminent in understanding and manifesting the bigger picture and adequately reflecting on it. We need to go so far as to accept the unity of obvious and obscure, material and spiritual, secular and divine, insoluble and self-evident... Moreover, every thought, word and expression may influence the world in any way expected, or unexpected.

 Thus, I am trying to find the golden mean in the midst of variables. Some of it include "painting the sound of the rain", creating a unique experience for every viewer participating in the event and becoming an integral part of it. Also, connecting the dots between static and motion; image, sign, symbol and definition; past, present, future; paternal animus Logos and maternal anima Eros; creator and consumer, eternal and momentary, question and answer, space-time continuum etc. In essence, I am trying to seize the moment of inspiration in a creative way that acknowledges art as a pure manifestation of alternative medium of comprehending life that is as real and scientific, ethereal and illusory as the other disciplines.

I am yearning to discover the ultimate knowledge that unifies the state of the ever various matter that gives an overall understanding for all matters of existence, as well as visual esthetics of manifested interpretations. There is one unified principle that helps the infinite variety to prevail within universal continuity, that is keeping us constantly going on as one entity. Only one agreeable rule of law may have the property of keeping all different variety together. In the process of the search, some try to split the atom. Others look for the grand picture in the outer space. There is too much of a Devine & Rule principles of divisive partiality and prejudice in most aspects of human perception to see the full picture, in my understanding.

The connection of the functionality of art as the succumbed object of consumption within a social or societal construct makes the process of creating quite difficult. We need to identify the drastically different perception of the art role or awareness for three main categories of individuals connected to it. The meaning of affirmation of particular artistic or creative values, qualities and goals changes with each category’s perception. The categories are: first - the art-biz professionals, critics or theoreticians; next - the viewers and customers and last, but not the least, - artists themselves. All three have various origins, intentions and aims. When we discuss art matters, it is a good idea realizing the category we belong to or which origin we represent.

There is a point in life when the crafts person comes to the stage of making a final product, a momentary answer or an exclamation mark, so to speak. It is a, where an artist picks up with a question mark and begins the journey of discovering the eternal journey or the search. The value of the message or meaning in a final product is as of a great importance as the quality of expertise and skillful execution. However, more often today tendency to leaning to quantitative productivity and wicked enormousness thrive over values that affects the quality and longevity of the superficial manifestation in all aspects of perfunctory success yearning. I try to touch upon permanent entity in the process of searching, obtaining and enduring essential, grandeur and lasting matters.
