ARTIST’S STATEMENT
(About the series “Rise of the Black Sun”)

Globalisation disregards all the various colours of humanity and forces the world into a monochrome constitution.

Self-proclaimed “industrial communities” monopolize mankind according to their half-educated, selfish and wealth-oriented prototypes. They destroy the bonds of the individuals towards their society and blur their vision in order to manage them easily and to take them under absolute control and domination.

Horrific scenes of slaughter are broadcasted in our living rooms. Our children are familiarised and hypnotised by their bloodthirsty greed, which appears like a Hollywood production. By spreading out the virtual, they have taken away our power to react to real events.

But the resurrection is not far away... Walk towards Beauty and Goodness has already started. Risen black sun will set and the world will be luminous again...
