Believe me no one accepts that all you see in my works might exactly happen in reality! But the truth is that they are real ones with an extra explanation that says” these are all as consequences of my personal life’s metamorphosed aspect”. They are my stories. I do not insist on any special medium when I want to tell a story because I make them in a way the artwork tends; and sometimes my choices are kept within certain limits in those materials I just can access.

This is a collection which can be defined as a part of a theatrical construction. I mean the dramatic aspects of visual art by the word “theatrical”; features which make Drawing and Painting to a complicated network of signs. So I have nothing with the dramatic art itself. Art- no matter what kind of it- is a form extracted from the reality by the unreal metaphors. It needs to make a maquette-a miniaturized sample of comedy and tragedy- in Painting, Music, Dance, Theatre and Literature from the world around; like a clown in a circus who makes a simultaneous sad/happy event. Can we ever say that a clown is a metaphor of a circus and vice versa?
