"Rock garden"

 

The exhibition is a marvelous garden, a garden of stones! A garden born of petrified structures, where each of them forms a space, they are infinite, in some places chaotic and at the same time ordered. The space of the garden is like an architectural landscape, but without a scale and the objects are not subordinate to one another.

Filling the space of the painting with light allows the garden to live, and the viewer for a moment to look at an imaginary world, until the sun goes down and the garden disappears in the shadows, becoming invisible, hidden from sight, but continues to live and evolve.  

The forms of the paintings grow out of the real world into the imaginary world. Each work is subject only to the format of the sheet, it is like a captured frame from the natural world, but at the same time, the objects of the painting try to break out of the frame and format, thereby revealing the infinity and impermanence.

From the plane of the paintings, the stones grow into volume. 

​

 

Here nature becomes the "architect" of the "garden" in which the biological mass forms the frame-construction. The stones inside the shell are alive, thanks to its intertwining veins they breathe .  Biomass forms and forms cells for "new life". Inside the "stones" everything necessary for life support of the new world is formed, the branches of the biostructure are a network that becomes "pathways" for cells to interact with each other and life support the stones.
