I am particularly interested in the way that memories appear and disappear. Memories are like uncontrollable creatures, appearing suddenly one day and then disappearing another, however hard one may try to catch them. After reflecting upon the mechanism of memory, I’ve decided that I would like to portray this mechanism in my work. I think that the memories that human beings create are comparable to the flow of life- energy that proves they are alive. Memory is a mixture of the past and the present, because we recall our past experiences in the present time. Therefore, memories are constantly changing and are saturated and reborn in the present. Furthermore, experiencing the flow of memories, we can conjure diverse emotions and reactions throughout our entire lives. To express these aspects of memory, I am making drawings and watercolour paintings that are filled with some rhythmical lines and marks. Furthermore, I’m using various techniques with mixed materials which include graphite powder, watercolour, oil, varnishes. The reason I chose this unique way of practice is to create improvisational, unplanned, and rhythmical effects in my paintings to give them a likeness to the flow and energy (i.e., the mechanisms) of memory.
