Why do we – you and I – actually do things?
Most often, it's because we expect some kind of benefit. Our genetic makeup, combined with the experiences we gather in life, shapes our expectations, our motivation, and our impulses to act.
Looking back, we often find seemingly logical explanations for why we did something – we tell ourselves our own story.
Here’s my story – why I created this art series:
For over two decades, I have practiced meditation and mindfulness, and I've experienced this as an incredibly unique and valuable enrichment in my life. I've always wanted to look deeper, to trace things back to their origin, and to understand them. I never wanted to be a mere plaything of external influences, emotions, or opinions. Most of all, I wanted to understand what truly makes us content and happy at our core.
With my art, I aim to share this experience – and to enrich your journey, just as other artworks have given me guidance, joy, and confidence.
I’m not trying to promote a particular teaching or dictate what’s right or wrong. I don’t claim to possess ultimate wisdom – if such a thing even exists. Like everyone else, I am imperfect and make mistakes.
Yet through years of practice, I’ve been fortunate to gain valuable insights – insights that emerged in the midst of everyday life. These insights allow me to build bridges.
My artworks are a translation of those insights – where words alone fall short. But even art itself reaches its limits here: that’s why my works contain an empty space that points far beyond the simple perception of shapes and colors.
If my art is meant to achieve something, it is this:
To inspire thoughtful reflection, to encourage you to walk your own path with confidence, and to question things openly – including my own texts, images, and ideas.
This print series is a contemporary footprint of my own experiences. Markers I’ve set along a path that I believe offers deep enrichment.
I would be delighted if my works provide you with aesthetic inspiration, support, motivation, and joy – if they enrich your life and surroundings with timeless values and spark positive feelings in you every single day.
