The reason why I started to draw is by no means to compete with professional artists - there are lots of people in the world who could do that more skilfully than I can. In fact, I cannot even depict a cat nor a rat properly. But that is not the point of it.
The important message that I would like to convey through my work is most accurately manifested in the belief that we ourselves create those worlds, the reality that we live in. If anyone is under the impression that the purpose of a creative act is to imitate or to interpret something already existing, he is, as far as I'm concerned, wrong, and is not actually creating anything.
The information coded in these drawings deals with a certain characteristic concerning the nature of reality. For some reason this information is most successfully forwarded visually, in the form of static pictures.
I am not revealing a secret here, but only sharing information with those who may find it necessary and are capable of receiving it.
It is only the natural course in the process of creating new realities that one first draws a scheme, lots of schemes. That is the way the creating of new worlds works. We do it ourselves. From within ourselves. It is like a door that can be opened only from the inside - there's no key on the outside and actually there is no one there that can open anything anyway.
Due to the absence of rules and regulations according to which one should create a new reality, one has to make those rules oneself.
The greatest obstacle on the way of understanding those drawings is the uncontrollable desire of the human intelligence to "make sense" of things. In fact, there is no need for trying to understand anything, no need to expect anything extraordinary - the things that start to happen, happen on their own, without one having to strain oneself. The effort of trying to see something can create tense expectation that easily blocks information important and relevant to the spectator.
Try just to look at the picture without passing any judgment upon the things you see or don't see. There is no need, and it is not even possible to criticize and assess things that do not have any criteria for their assessment. Let me remind you that the rules according to which you create this reality are set by yourself.
It can happen that people whose heads are too full of important thoughts can't see anything and are thus incapable of receiving this information. This phenomenon is not without explanation and follows a certain inherent pattern with its internal logic - information needs free space where it can be stored. Even a computer can't open large files when the hard-drive is full or when it is too low on operative memory.
How should one look at those drawings?
Very simply. Choose a suitable distance and angle under which you seem to spot something interesting. Relax, and if possible, maintain a reasonable sense of humor. Allow yourself to concentrate and exclude all judgment and criticism, expectations and pretensions from your thoughts. You can, for example, become clearly conscious of the fact that you do not need to see anything there and I don't need to show you anything either. Nobody needs an opinion or assessment from you about these pictures - not me nor anyoneelse. It just doesn't matter.
Let your gaze wonder around freely, you can change distance and angle whenever you like and how often you like. At first it mayseem that the surface of the drawing turns uneven or three-dimensional - as if there were bumps and holes of different shapes near the surface of the paper.Little by little this spatial effect starts to expand. After some time you may perceive the whole drawing or some parts of it as a holographic image of a 3D reality. You may not get the impression of a holograph, but see other figures and images and begin to discover whole stories from your own life or from the tales you've read, seen or heard.
In an appropriate mood and with the information acquired from one picture, you can look at another one to see what is going on there.Each of these pictures has a unique emotional/energetic impact supportive towards one another, helping the eye get used to this new kind of information.Nevertheless, I suggest concentrating on one particular image at a time that for some reason seems more attractive and interesting to you.
Take notice of your emotions, what you feel when you see something. What are those feelings like? Soft - rugged, warm - cold, jagged -smooth, happy - sad, etc. What events, encounters from the past or anticipations for the future emerge to your thoughts and feelings? Pay attention - this could switch on another dimension in your consciousness.
Notice your emotions - most information is accessible only through love. Negative emotions such as hatred, fear, envy, contempt,impatience, irony or cynicism can block most of it. Therefore it is of great help if you take a positive approach towards your activity (in this case -looking at something) and the object of your attention (in this case -drawings).
If you for some reason feel restless, worried, anxious,when you have to hurry somewhere or solve a lot of problems, don't come here atthe moment. Come when you are calm and carefree. If you take this for light entertainment that should amuse you, you're in the wrong place. You could justas well be staring at a poster at the bus-stop. But if you see this as a profound performance, a journey into the unknown, your experience may correspond to your attitude.
