Moonsault, 2009
You think you have seen it all. New things - they are either too small for you or you have done it. What's left for you are your memories. Then suddenly you catch a breeze. Your sails are full of wind. You are making a 180 degrees turn and moving to a new direction. You are creating new things, but you use your previous experience as a frame. That takes your game to a new level. The new burst of  creativity makes new memories and builds new experiences to draw from and to remember later.

Einstein Plays the Music, 2003
You are an observer. You are watching the cataclysms. Nature, humans, anything is storming, raging(blue, green, white background waves). This is all outside. Here, inside behind a glass wall, everything is calm and quiet. It is nice in here, but it is also disconnected. The nerves that connect you to the outside world have been cut off by the glass wall(the thick white lines going from left to right). They are just dangling in the wind. You remain cold, indifferent and trapped inside your wall.

Temporal, 2013



Time is relative. Sometimes you feel time goes by as a mountain stream - fast, powerful, unstoppable (the blue ribbon on the left). Sometimes it shifts to a crawl (multiple red figures), especially when you are waiting for something(yellow figures). There are days when you think the time goes backwards(black lines).  The time on the other hand just moves on without any concern about how you feel about it(the upper part of the painting).
