The main things about art today, are three.
First, we've got the experience aspect, i.e. the viewer's experience of the object - of the event around the
experience and vice versa. That is, a relational related relation.
Secondly, we've got the artist and his work. I'll come back later to this subject, which in fact is a whole
lot more complicated than it seems at first thought.
Thirdly, there's the object itself.

Not to chose, is also a choice. I let it happens... and suddenly things start to develop
by themselves. A sudden impulse is often the start onto a new path or maybe a furrow. The coincidental becomes part of the
creative process.
Sometimes, after working several hours, I start to realize that this isn't art I'm into, it's a kind of self-therapy,
in a way. I'm scratching on the surface, investigating, examining, peeking, poking, and discovering in the end, hopefully,
something on the way, to godknowswhere...
You have to admit that by creating something you also put something of your own soul in it.
And by doing this I open myself, open my vulnerability. And I do this for my own purpose only, not for the public, not for
the gallery owners, but and only for my own benefit. It's sort of putting up a mirror in front of you... measure yourself
against it, test your ability, your limits. Now we're back in the therapeutic alley again... But, I'm pretty sure that out
there, somewhere, there's someone who is attracted by my pictures... who understands my iconic language. Who sense my idea,
my conceptual thought. That's enough for me. The truth is, art has its own semantics... art is semantics... in a way.
Semantics = (The scientific displine dealing with the meaning of the words)
Siman = sign (Hebrew)
Semen = seed (Latin)
