Theory

Art is political.

Consciousness racing logic. Clarity is using symbolism in order to find a "way" to truth.
The "optical mean" is binding upon the purpose. Everywhere there is a picture to be reformed.

Appointment, reminder, awareness, it is not necessary to be experiential.

Issues such as, destruction of the environment on human responsibility, communication, the decadence of modern man (Homo Urbanus) are what concern me.

Concept and theory are necessary to frame an art.
