Explanation of a (possible) theoretical background:

The founding philosophical thought of this visual research casts the light on the double, inductive-deductive nature of my understandings. That thought correlates and sympathizes with the onto-theo-technological burden of apprehending.

The ideoplastics of the theme (titled ”Bio-Geo-Theo”) creates a relationship with the cosmological (universal?!) conditions and with micro-macro perspectives such as: movement, the crossing, the symmetry, the polarization, the familiarity, the mutuality, etc.

Shapes and figures I am drawing are actually crossed and multiplied curves which are supposed to incite an anthropological interpretation and above all to arrive at the individuality (identity?!). This contents, of the figures of speech-tropes, makes and proposes methods or possible variances of existence, of apprehension and behavior…templates of probability, common mental morphemes or, simply, visual realties?!

On the technical description: Usage of ready-mades is a constant feature of my artistic practices. In this case the curve as a model stands for the means and is the sole physical component of the visual structure on the whole.

Various treatments of the curve and their representation and transformation are involved in shaping a complex visual plane.
