ART Habens
in the viewer's mind even after he has
finished seeing the work in the exhibition
or visiting the gallery. Indeed, the viewer
has great importance in the life of the
artist, and my opinion is directed at all
the artists in the world, the viewer
creates criticism that makes the artist
rank on his level, in relation to the
relevant art and fields. The greatest
artists in the world were ranked as
breakthroughs by critics and art lovers,
the artists themselves created the
magnificent works. But if these great
artists were living on an island or far
from civilization, their art might never
have been exposed to the world, and the
breakthrough would not have occurred
despite the existence of the works. In
conclusion, the viewer must come out
with an impressive experience that will
bother him and make him think again
about the work, sometimes it is easy and
sometimes have to give a lot of
explanations and interpretations of the
work, and here I try to let the viewer get
by alone, the situation may be
interpreted by some viewers completely
different. It is possible that certain works
do not create any stimulation and
enjoyment for the viewer and here the
artist must understand his artistic status.
In my opinion, this is also part of the art.
Any viewer can interpret his own
creativity much better than any artist,
especially when the work is interesting
and stimulating.

created both in the mind of the
beginning of work and in the process of
doing it itself. The idea in the specific
sculpture "The Butterfly Woman" is
based on the figure of a woman who
opens her hands wide, the figure is
connected only at the foot of her foot to
the base, the delicate balance of the
woman's position creates calm and
gentleness. The woman in the figure sets
aside her head gently, as part of the
same peace of posture.
Until this moment, I found myself
burrowing and searching, what is still
lacking in the image so that the "twist" I
wish to pop up ?, and so I thought, a
butterfly or a bird are creatures that
suddenly pop up and sit on the edge of a
branch or a flower. This is what I lacked
in the figure, wings, and then the
connection between the human and
nature comes up, that is what attracts
the viewer's eye. I guess that's what I
wanted from the beginning, but it was
revealed to me only in search and
creation.
As I mentioned in the artist's statement, I
try to give the viewer an unforgettable
and special experience that will remain
