Here is how I see art collecting:
 
As for me, the form of my work is to visualize some nondescript states of human existence by producing very private, very intimate imagery. I speak about the poetry of being alive and breathing in this bizarre illogical surreal world of ours, and this poetry grasps fear, love, disgrace, death, tenderness, growing pains, afterlife, sex, eternity.. and other totally human conditions. I speak about it my way.
 
If I and you at least for one single second pulse with one frequency, you’ll understand my way, and I’ll understand yours, and my visualized image will be your image. Thus, as I see it, the art collecting is a very deeply conscious, highly creative, intimately cognitive pursuit. The right object finds the right person sooner or later, and there is some mystery in this, as if we all were connected in an invisible network, where the right connection happens in the right time..

  2. Ļoti skaista izstāde, Jana, un Jūsu darbiņš izclis! Žēl, ka jādodas tik tālu, lai apskatītu! :)))
    Jau sen sekoju Jūsu daiļradei un izstādēm Latvijā, mūsu ģimene ir Jūsu lielākie fani, taču sen neesam Jūs te nekur manījuši. Vai Jums būs kāda izstāde Latvijā, varbūt personālizstāde? Labprāt kaut ko jaunu apskatītos, varbūt arī nopirktu. Vai arī izstādāties tikai tālajās ārzemēs?
    Ar cieņu,
    Anita Kauliņa
    ps.Kāpēc Jūsu lapiņas ir tikai angliski? :)

  4. Anita, paldies Jums! Es izstādos arī Latvijā, nupat piedalījos izstādē Cēsīs. Personālizstādes gan man Latvijā pagaidām nav paredzētas, speciāli arī nemeklēju iespējas, piedalos, kur mani uzaicina, bet cerams drīz nonākšu atpakaļ līdz Latvijai..
    Lapiņas angliski, jo lapas angļu valodā man menedžē ne-latviešu galerija, tulkošanai pagaidām pietrūkst laika.. :)
