Intimacy

The painting was inspired by a natural phenomenon that kept me mesmerized…

I hope I am not exaggerating when I refer to my dear friend – Nóra Hortobágyi – as my mental companion as we would spend hours on breaking down ‘world saving’ thoughts into pieces or analyzing the forces driving the world.

During one of our usual ‘sessions’ she showed me the video she made about the ‘intimate’ life of the snails. It is a miracle…

The feelings that the scene aroused in me were rather ambivalent, ‘beauty’, ‘disgust’, ‘ordinary’, ‘strange’…

But, isn’t our life full of contradictions after all?
