What I'm doing here is opening the exhibition with a performance.
I'm drawing life, each line one breath, investigating artwork and the drawing itself in its most
basic components and facts.
I'm breathing the line, so I'm drawing one line, I'm breathing out and I'm doing this
again and again.
One line takes me approximately 15 to 20 seconds, 10 cm of a drawing takes approximately
one hour to draw.
It's more about really the basic facts and principles of creating something.
I'm just focusing and concentrating on the space in between the lines.
I'm not drawing the line, I'm drawing the nothingness of the line.
This leads me to a point in my thinking and feeling perceiving myself, which is not dualistic
anymore.
There's no difference between right or wrong or being or not being.
If the lines are very straight and there are not a lot of petals and structures in the
drawing, it's mostly happening when I'm feeling distracted by myself.
I'm not in a good mood, but if I feel very good and you have a lot of movement in the
drawing, a lot of structures, I'm very close to myself.
But while drawing in front of an audience where people are looking at me and were standing
around the table and they're talking to me, I'm very focused and gives me a lot of concentration
and energy.
What we are doing as artists, we are doing it not for ourselves, we are doing it from
ourselves for the others too.
We are channeling those energies, we are bringing them back to the world.
So the mind and the spirit of the observer is actually transcending too.
This specific focus of feeling people around you, the elements, it's a very traditional
shamanic way of interacting with nature, existence and being to connect with the truth, the hidden
origin, principles and forces in the universe.
