1992 - 2005 LANDSCAPE TO THE IDEAL CITY

This canvas symbolizes personal transformation. The mountain shifts from the black of the hidden and the unfathomable to the bright white of knowledge. From this contrast between two opposing forces arises the lightning that reveals shapes and colors. The small silver figure of the man is an intermediate shade between black and white, neither warm nor cold, a vessel for all the colors life has to offer. He travels up the mountain, and the golden panorama that opens up in the light of the lightning reveals lines and angles, the sketch of an ideal city, a mirror of his deepest aspirations. It lasted only for a moment, but the man who stands now is profoundly different.
