This is an old canvas from the 1970s. I called it the painter’s eye. You can see the mountains in the background. Their landscape is monochrome. The small figure of the painter is on the edge of the canvas, almost out of the landscape. He is in the darkness—that is, the mystery where all colors are formed. And he is also outside of his eye. His eye looks at the mountains, and red rays light up the darkness. His eye is like a polychromatic bubble that brings colors to life. Because in reality, everything is gray. Only light and the one who sees it knows what mountains and life experiences are made of.
