My artwork is taken from the "The Screens" series paintings, from the years 2011-2020 reflecting images and particles of images that are floating and appearing on the picture's surface without any cataloging system or order. Traces and remnants of images taken from books, magazines & several texts. All these are weaved into one tight enigmatic surface. Inside this weaved surface , old traces of Particles and remnants from the popular culture are featured, figures from advertisements, Movie actresses , Popular icons and images representing the culture and the world of consumption and the consumerist society. Those visual anecdotes appear for a moment, then vanish in a glance, As if it was a camera flash or the lightning light. It creates a sense of movement in the picture and a sort of unstable Surface. A coherent and tight surface is being created in front of the viewer, making him confronted with an almost ideal and harmonious world, although very translucent and fragile. My painting reveal an attempt to map simultaneous views, as if seen through thousand of mirrors - a checkered eye view. I am trying to reflect this scenery which is sometimes harmonious, and integral and sometimes unstable and chiastic.
