My Project ‘Black, White or Gray’ is an approach to the concept of relativity. I believe that nothing is ever Black or ever White. Black or White are shades of Gray; it’s all about surviving the Gray. I’ve noticed that the truth is rarely found in the extremes, in the Black and White - you’ll usually find it right in the middle, in the Gray.
In this exhibition, I show paintings with different shades of Gray, starting from bright White descending to solid Black. The game of color here is with the Black, which I find very meaningful since it does not reflect anything, yet it absorbs all into itself. When I portray my figures and shapes with these intense colors- Black and White- I portray their souls, not their appearance.
Through the mouth of my figures, I want to say that humans, animals, and shapes; are that no one does pure good or pure bad. It’s all Gray. Therefore, no one is better than anyone else. In other words, we have to respect our differences and meltdown down our dissimilarities.
To Summarize, light is meaningful only concerning darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites that people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating.
We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where Black and White clash, revealing the shades of Gray.
