Hemisphere takes part of the Transitions series. Transition means a provisional, intermediate state, the step from one stage to another, from one idea to another. When I made this series, it was a period of transition for me, both personally and in my painting. Before the Transitions, I finished a series called Soil. Here I was very interested in brown and sepia colors as well as the idea of traces. The surface of the painting was like a soil, a skin. In the Transitions series, I continued my research into the plasticity of materials, but I was more interested in the symbiosis of different layers, colors and techniques. I also wanted to bring blue and green shades into my compositions, to evoke not only the soil but also the water and the air.
Sometimes, when we are looking at some pictures, we notice only a system of lines that makes a kind of landscape, an organic form. We don’t really know if that is a river, a tree, or anything else. If we grow a small thing, or we reduce a big one, we don’t know exactly anymore what we are looking on. If we change scales, we get interesting pictures because striking similarities come out from the observed structures. What we see depends finally on our point of view.
