So, how do you paint...?

-This, my dear Horatio, is a matter of Artistic Approach.

We can distinguish between two diametrically opposed approaches to art making. Most artworks fall somewhere in the spectrum between those two.

The first and my favourite is THE SHAMANIC APPROACH

This is the transcendental approach to art making. It is closer to a shamanic experience, a deep dive and swim to the ocean of collective unconscious and subconscious.
We can say that one uses the Shamanic approach when one is painting free from preconceived concepts and ideas. I could describe this as creative meditation.

In this approach I try to create a passage, a way to something elusive through painting and street art. I am interested in bringing to life images that have a positive effect in the viewers psyche. This is why in this approach I stay away from the field of thoughts. I want to move beyond the dogmas of our age and create timeless pieces of art that speak to everyone regardless of their culture and background.

My understanding is that painting according to a preconceived notion, an idea, will bear results stranded by memory. Conscious thought is interwoven with and created by memories. We need memory in order to think. Thought is limited by an individual's memory and memory is comprised of our subjective experiences, recordings and beliefs. I try to grasp something universal and true for all humanity, beyond the subjectivity of individual conditioning. Something that will address the human psyche and emotions.
