JEMMIRO
I am inspired by daily questions and answers, human expressions and beauty; the unreliable world we live in; human life and humor, fantasies and dreams. I paint/ draw imaginary figures; some suggested, some realistic; I enjoy abstraction and placing these figures in evocative surreal atmospheres, which allows for primeval myths to surface; their humor and questions. I manipulate the subject or the placement of the subject in most of my paintings, in order to bring out the elements mentioned above: myth, humor and questioning.
The current series is titled Dreams and Shadows
