that energy is able to unleash its own creative force. Consequently,
by asking how to develop this energy in the face of the complexity

experiencing a journey where reality and the virtual go hand in hand:
two dimensions which are no longer disjoined, in that the virtual is

Now, the contents aspect of any work of art lie in the presupposition
that the artist is in fact able to explain the most concealed of man’s
movements and desires. Once this clarity has been acquired, the

artist can purposefully use the talent he has been given. His raw
material will always be the conscious awareness of his own energy,
his mental resources. His aim will therefore be to develop forms where
his energy can be liberated and from which, at the same time, he will
receive new energy. In fact, the artist is nothing other than someone

who gives form to something. He shapes new images for values and
then speaks of form once again. His is a continuous process as he is
constantly interrogating himself on what is really important in his life.
