Towards the HorizonLandscapes

The “Towards the Horizon” series, which includes paintings and silkscreen prints, conveys a distinctive inclination towards reduction. It presents a development from descriptive works to those in which landscapes have been reduced to two main components – sea and sky. These motifs are represented by two large areas of intense color, devoid of visible brushwork, and divided by a thin strip of what may be perceived as structures. No illusion of space or perspective is created – these compositions are intended to be completely flat, and often verge on non-representational art.
