Statement
I
like the thought of a mental time travel back to the
spirit of medieval painters and then getting lost on
the way, somewhere in between the world of Bosch and
Gruenewald creatures and science fiction - movie aliens.
The first ones were scary, because they were meant to
be so and viewers were convinced. The others try much
harder and some seem quite effective, but there is nobody
to convince anymore…. Not that my "Neighbors" were meant
to be scary, but they are stuck someplace, confused,
not sure what their purpose might be. Are they nature
or decoration or monsters?
Waiting nervously or staring at the viewer - one of
their kind or at least a relative? The viewer might
wonder the same.
