Project

Saying about shining The world is shining quietly, subtly, calmly. Every being, plant, and thing shines. The shining can be seen in complete silence when the overwhelming number of thoughts flies away from a head and disappears over the horizon. The shining can be heard as a gentle tinkling, as the sound of cell division in a living organism, as the sound of germination of seeds in the ground, as the sound of the blood flow in the vessels, as the sound of silent loving. The shining of a human can be seen as distinctive light in the eyes when a person peacefully and irreversibly accepts as a fact their mortal nature and lives further in peace with this. The shining can be shown through the delicate movement, a word voiced in a special way so that it is heard, a touching, which carries the whole sense of caring. The project is aimed as an intend to make a step out of the war context. The project will consist of 10-12 big format paintings, which will be united by visual-text narrative.
