Flowers are beautiful. They are so gentle, bright and amazing.People use them as adornments. They are like small matches that light up the darkness of the night.But similar to the matches they do not last long. Same goes to art. There are temporary artworks and there are timeless ones. The "flower" art is decorative or political. They both have a limited time frame when they work. The former art is going out of fashion, the latter lights up the political/ social problems that would be forgotten after some time.The time can not retire the art that talks about the timeless values.

Little Doggies at Night

This is Saturday night entertainment. Night(black rectangles). Bars(yellow rectangles), doors(big background rectangles), car lights(red rectangles). Red wine (burgundy rectangle in the lower left corner). Balancing in the gray area. Tipsy. Some  things you will remember only later, if at all, and black and white hangover(top row of rectangles with white figures).

The Boulevard Montmartre at Night

The night. It's time for entertainment. There are so many welcoming lights trying to seduce you, to pull you in. But there are too many lights. You are going from one light to another. The next light looks prettier than the previous. It's too many choices. You can't pick, because you are afraid to make a mistake. You are ready to pick a light but what if the best ever light comes along? Eventually you didn't go anywhere, trying to find the best place. It leaves you dark, empty and lonely.

Final Cut

You are in the dead end. You are lost. The cold white walls seem to grow sharp corners and edges. You have two choices to get out. One - an easy one into the despair of the night(middle left). It is easy for you now, but you know you will be paying for that for a long long time. The other exist is to cut. To open up the wound and let the blood flow(middle bottom to middle right). It will be painful and hard, but at the end you will get the welcoming warm sun of the day(upper right).

Dusk

This is a poem. This is about a magical darkness. The night seduces you, while your mind is fogged by the daylight.The combination of blue, red and black gives you purple, the Wisdom. You are anticipating the night, though you are tired from the day, beige orbs.
