Dimitris Papadatos: The basic element of the work is time -- finite and inconspicuous. The surfaces are shaped loosely and non-hierarchically, in response to an idiosyncratic nature. The result is determined only by an internal need for completion; it does not depend on anything, nor does it attempt to describe something. The work appears to be following different properties at any given time, creating a subconscious layering whereby nothing is explicitly or schematically stated, and thus giving an impression of incompleteness or inconsistency. The work ushers a new subjectivity by following the route of free association and systemic superimposition of models, manipulating software until the forensic data accrues to generate another possibility for painting. What this painting represents is a digitally produced simulacrum of an immaterial object. The painting purports to authenticate the original that exists in my head as an ideal of "truth".
