Acrilic lavis on canvas ~ 180 x 270 cm ~ 2009

This work was done with acrylic paint and plenty of water, inspired by a Chinese technique called Lavis. This is a question about the banality of contemporary image, so I chose the theme of the rough images produced endlessly by the security cameras.

Action painting, sometimes called "gestual abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied.

Fourth International Biennial of Mini Prints - Tetovo 2008




The launch of this associate with us, The Fourth International Mini-print Graphics 2007 - according to the tradition on doorsteps by the entrance to the Europen Union, we are meditating as a cosmopolite. The troubles in this regions are as same as they are in all countries. The culturals and traditions autochthonous, are endangered by the recently urbanized man who is looking for to reclaim the heritage. New age named “The architecture of the new time” indeed is consequence from a mathematical function which doesn’t look after to the captured space. Macedonia have had over four thousand archaeological area from: early neolith, classical, roman, up to late middle century. How can we preserve them? The battle against trading with antiques and ”businessmen” is the biggest problem of all countries from the third world. As it’s with ours. “The rich” always find the way how to get what do they want in. The past, present and the future are the one’s nations identity. We are actively seeking for:to work on popularization to the diversity of one another to one after the other, and with your graphics to send a massage for: LET’S PROVIDE THE PROTECTION OF SMALL NATIONS’ CULTURAL HERITAGE!

Mini-print exhibition at Mafra's place

TALK SHOW VIDA:
SCENERY IN PROGRESS






I have been comissioned to make a scenery to a TV talk show. It was a different experience to me, I had to learn about artificial lights, profundity and another camera's effects. It was funny because I had to work when the show was "on the air", so I take some weeks to do the job.

IX BALCONADAS BIENNIAL





Betanzos is a municipality in Galicia, Spain, in the Province of A Coruña. Betanzos was formerly called by its ancient Latin name Brigantium.The town is located in a fertile valley close to the Atlantic Ocean, and it has one of the best preserved old quarters in Galicia. Noteworthy is the Igrexa de San Francisco (St Francis Church), erected in 1387 by order of count Fernán Pérez de Andrade, whose tomb, decorated with hunting scenes, can be seen inside of the church. The Igrexa de Santiago (St Jacques Church), built in the 15th century by the guild of tailors, has a main portal decorated with a horseback statue of Saint Jacques. Other sights in the town are several town palaces, a 16th-century clock tower, and the town walls, which preserve three of their original four gates. There are two celebrations in Betanzos in August each year. At the festival of San Roque, a very large paper balloon is launched. And later in August, decorated boats sail along the river to the nearby Os Caneiros. Each two years, on september, trere are this nice international biennial of paintings where we can apreciate the works hanging in the old balconys.
