The main body of my work is paintings on black canvas. There is a tradition of painting which reacts to the white canvas, to a blank support. The white is the non-color which is being stained. The non-color of my works is the Black. Of course, the logic of acting towards a blank, black background is different from the logic of acting in response to the white background (like Raffi Lavie or Cy Twombly). Nevertheless, I still take action towards the black in a way which has to do with the way these painters (re)act towards the white.

There has always been a figure of a fairy in my works. My painting is the utmost degree of stuttering fairytales.

Concerning that, there is a thought that keeps popping up in my head, a suspicion that always bothers me: that in every donkey there hides a fairy.
