Crayon on paper ~ 48 x 68 cm ~ 1998

The Brandenburg Gate is a former city gate and one of the main symbols of Berlin in Germany. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Today, it is considered one of Europe's most famous landmarks.

Acrilic lavis on canvas ~ 180 x 270 cm ~ 2009

This work was done with acrylic paint and plenty of water, inspired by a Chinese technique called Lavis. This is a question about the banality of contemporary image, so I chose the theme of the rough images produced endlessly by the security cameras.

The battle against trading with antiques and ”businessmen” is the biggest problem of all countries from the third world. As it’s with ours. “The rich” always find the way how to get what do they want in. The past, present and the future are the one’s nations identity. We are actively seeking for:to work on popularization to the diversity of one another to one after the other, and with your graphics to send a massage for: LET’S PROVIDE THE PROTECTION OF SMALL NATIONS’ CULTURAL HERITAGE!

To this exhibition, each artist submited five prints and one of the prints remained as property of “Museum of Tetovo Area”. In my case, they chose this one. Artists from more than 50 nations take part in that Biennial.

Mini-print exhibition at Mafra's place





I like to organise exhibitions of small format printmaking in alternative spaces. This one happened in Santa Catarina, Brazil, on a artist's conference, where I received a nice white wall beside the theater to expose 20 original mini prints.

A woodcut to a cover CD




It's a compilation CD of a community radio - the Radiocom - that chose some musiciams to show the best of the local scene. "Arte daqui" means art from here.
I lent a image of a woodcut to the cover.
