It’s difficult to create a contemporary image that does not operate with obsolete tools yet suits a conservative audience with traditional expectations from arts going back to hundreds of years. It’s very hard to use new, untested visual elements, conveying thoughts and impressions and reach the targeted audience of the day.

There seems to be a wide chasm between modern artistic tools and the traditional aspects of the audience’s taste. Today’s artists are assisted in conveying their message by suggested interpretations, a great deal of background work from critics and by robust marketing.

Art has ceased to be an act of communal and public act. Quoting Umberto Eco: ‘…this will be the difficulty faced by painters; offering the most liberal adventures for the eye and creating communication at the same time.’

I am in search of forms of expressions that create a middle ground between everyday utilitarianism and the deliberation separated from it. Forms that do not become commercialised or vulgar, forms that allow the audience to have a say in the process of creating art and creating a constructional openness as well as an openness of interpretation.
