Nowadays we travel thanks to the
INTERNET without
leaving our home and set off to realms we have not yet dreamt about.
Travelling
via hyperlinks through the landscapes of the World Wide Web is an
imitation of
a journey but this is the reality of today.
I get my first impressions of a planned trip to one
country or another from using Google Earth where I can set the altitude and
take satellite photos which have the most expressive and interesting
topography. The next stage is to travel to these locations to get my own
impressions and emotions in order to create my works using the various coloured landscapes.
By drawing the geographical and geometrical elements
of maps, I try to decipher the landscapes and evaluate them aesthetically. It’s
a form of cultural geography and new urbanistics where the plan of the city
appears as a social and cultural text. This change of perspective and the
feeling that one can touch the sky, discover new visions of space just by
standing on earth which I have never known about before. A virtual image
together with the reality of the PLACE gives birth to a new truth – THE TRUTH OF ART.
