Stillness

In this first post, i'll write about what i understand from the term 'stillness'. When i think about what stillness could actually mean, initially, inaction and placidity comes to my mind. It's almost like a scenery where time doesn't exist and lets us make either an objective or a subjective observation.   When we catch that placid moment, we make room for deep reflection. More than that, we get a chance to actually observe what our reflection on that moment is. It may sound peaceful, but i find it extremely chaotic, in a sense that one must have an enough level of madness to even reflect something and observe it in return.

I find paintings to be a natural container for contemplative space, They do not engage with time as a dimension of the work and they provide us with moments that lets us be in that painting's present. This is what i aim to do in my own paintings, i try to create that inert moment, or scenery let's say, to reflect my own state of mind. This is my way to take action in a still moment, with a subjective kind of observation, i recreate that once objective moment that i captured before. Basically, what i love doing is to violate stillness, with re-creating myself through forms and gain control through them.
