“Freedom of thinking, freedom of choice” is a installation consisting of 6 small canvasses. The owner of the installation (the 6 panels) has the freedom to make a choice not only about where to hang the installation, but also how to hang it by composing the 6 small paintings according to their own feelings, character and their own discretion.

Three of the panels are fairly expressive; the other three are fairly simple and calm.  Two of the three are extremely simple, almost empty. The white one is just a white space with two lines, one dirty-white whilst the other line is black. The second canvas, the red-orange one, is only disturbed by one black line, like a shadow.  The third panel is coloured black and white. It has more narrative content.

The three remaining panels are very expressive, full of traces of brushes and pallet knifes, the contours between the colours are aggressive and rough. The contrast between the calmness and the not-calmness, expression and the absence of it, is it significant? Maybe the calmness and its opposite complement one another more than contradict each other?

I wonder to what extent that freedom to create ones own composition from the 6 panels will generate a new art work. I made the painting but at the moment that I cease to own it anymore the painting begins to live its own life. I believe that non-figurative art is “dispossessed”; a free interpretation is the essence of such art. Only the title of the art work may determine the thoughts of the person who looks at the painting.
It is my strong belief that freedom of thinking is the only freedom that we possess, and that the freedom of thinking at the same time determines our choices. In the sense that we only have free choice if those choices are conditional on our free thinking.  Whether we like it or not we are slaves of our material existence and our material possessions. Only our dreams and our thoughts are free and in some way independent.
