The series of abstract calligraphic lyrics as an expression of the authentic move. Regardless other people's expectations. What do you expect from a calligrapher? Many people expect beautiful letters, words, something legible. I want to overcome boredom & paralysis and brave step out of expectations and the so-called good taste. So these sheets were created as a dialogue with a fictional counterpart. This fiction person doesn’t understand my kind of calligraphic art. I see these small pieces also as a brave statement for following your heart and don’t adapt too much to the art market. These works have emancipated themselves from the letters and giving freedom of own interpretation. I ask myself: is this still calligraphy? And answering: YES — indeed!
