Founded in 2015, Zid Gallery
is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to international emerging and
established artists.
The world is an art gallery. Every wall from our world can be a part of Zid Gallery.
These images are printed
digital photos in print giclee technique. They are left exactly as I
photographed them without any adjustment in any graphic program. This approach
is part of my art. This series of photos is the starting point of the
illustrations of Taramul Albastru, a book written by a friend.
- "I am the character and the
creator" is my motto for the last 8 years. It is a concentrated expression
of how I found myself in quantum physics, in the recent unified theories of
physics, in the Oriental and European mysticism, in shamanism and transpersonal
psychology. To see is an interactive process. According to Heisenberg's
principle, an electron can appear to us as a particle or a wave, depending on
our expectations. The reality is the interaction between creation and us (the
dance of Shiva). Photons –the light particles, are massless, allowing them to
interact with other particles in a subtle way that seems to evade space-time
continuum.Two particles that once met are known to always keep in touch.
-For me, the grown-up Ana, creating the illustrations from which
I chose these images, meant the return to "the blue realm". A
fictional return, since a superior inner self knew I have never left. I
believed I left the blue realm, but I was wrong, it was only my imagination, but
at one point the wandering through the complicated exterior ways was useful to me. These images, as
well as all the children’s creations, were born of existential alchemy. Born from
everyday materials that I have invested with the power that I myself had found.
When there is an understanding that the matter is sacred, the same matter has
the force of its status. It's dynamic, it may change. It is free to change the structure
and the shape. It is the fairy who can change everything with her magical wand,
is the children’s alchemist. I knew that I can create the reality, therefore a
potato slice can only remain so for some but it also can be anything, even a
pumpkin carriage as the story says. Or a planet or an aircraft.
-I did these "drawings" from
(particles of) pigments and beads, nylon thread, paper sheets, camouflaged
lightsand many more, all that exist in our proximity. Images that are highly
volatile, changing or decaying because of
a sigh or a rushed touch of the surface.The colored dust particles
showed me the life’s availability to the joy of change. The small dots of color
were eager to become part of other and another image of infinite possibilities.
Under my eyes, in my assumption, each image is created through the participation
of its parts. One of the thousands of particles, a tumbling bead changes
everything. I allowed myself to be child –one who has not forgotten.
- Being present creates a space of
communication. Then / there (when I created these images) I was able to hear
what the "mundane" materials told me: the colored powder, the small
spheres of beads .... Then I called the pigments and all other materials and I
listened. I would say that these images are like a materialized game, a game that wanted
to sit in the concreteness of forms. More and more often I allowed myself not
to have expectations, not to want to know what comes out, or if I made it out
... insteadI asked these materials to be my partners in the game. The careful
gesture to take infinitesimal amounts of particles, beads or colored powders
with a spatula or teaspoon, to sprinkle them on the horizontal/inclined board
or to a certain direction - depending on where I wanted them to run, bounce or
lightly fly when I breathed on them. Or, on the contrary, to remain completely motionless until I can
catch the moment in a photo. A moment that is part of a second.
