About this artwork
„Since I was a little boy I have been fascinated by magical places and objects - wizards, nocturnes, enchanted gardens, mazes..."
Pictorial cycle entitled “A fish rots from the head down” refers the sense of existence, space, people living on the earth, their inner lives and other sophisticated topics. During the whole process of creating I was inspired by a feeling of elevation. “A fish rots from the head down” is a pictorial cycle where mystery… and uneasiness are hidden. I’ve had these feelings all the time, what is easy to notice, at least for me. In my artworks I’ve wanted to show human nature in a symbolic way. Paintings are inspired by dreams. After some time they've started to differ from my first ideas, changing styles and topics. Adding colours was probably my fight against nostalgia. The mere graveness of the topic provoked nostalgia in me, which I don't like. That's why I've fought and my artworks reflect effects of this battle.
