THE ARTIST ONLINE www.emilbakalli.com
The sources of my visual information are people instances, immerging and
dissolving from the public surroundings of a city life in the crowd. My eye
captures the ubiquitous temper of their steps amidst the paths of New
York City, through which my work evolves my thoughts and my experience
find a dynamic familiarity of form and line where every single sequence
has a unique speed: this is the ground of my painting’s surface. In other
words, my artistic rapture takes place in a locality that is enveloped in
the presence of a situation/condition. In this case, it is New York City. It
is this city that my art has evolved and engaged itself as a form and also,
let me say; my art is the prosopopoeia / manifestation of this milieu of
technological shattering speed, vibrancy, animation, of emerging and
dissolving realities that pass-by me and yet are connatural/ build-in-me.
