Statement
|
|
The narrative art, that characterizes my works, found a natural platform, in the present exhibition, in the wonderful world of circus.
I see the circus as nostalgia of the time when we were angels and knew how to fly; of the time when everything was possible, of the time when the world was wondrous and innocent.
The return to this lost world of our childhood is the antidote to our anxieties as mature people.
I hope that children and adults, that still have in them that spark of humor and that still are amazed by the magic of imagination, will enjoy my works likewise.
