We have focused on global warming and pollution, but in parallel, for many people in the world, it is the norm to throw garbage into a river or forest. They just never heard that plastic kills animals and/or they don't care or they didn't even have a chance not to. But all these problems will not matter if only one person on the planet launches an atomic bomb.
Let's make art and not a war, let's support life and not kill, create and not destroy, let's love and not hate, let's multiply beauty and not horror. The world is one, it is diverse and amazing.
Idea: The Ecology of Mind installation aims to draw attention to the very foundations of our minds. There is not a ready answer, but rather a search for it... It is not a grandiose event but many days of work. The purpose of this work is to start with yourself.
"When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care.” The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Action Plan: We will work with our hands – cleaning the planet. Anyone can bring newspapers, including advertising papers that are thrown into our post-boxes and newspapers describing the political situation in the world. We will create colour plates and then fix them on the surface of the house. This colour field will be here only for a few months, temporarily and fleetingly - the hard cherished work of many will disappear.
The concept is to rethink this information material and identify the value of what we do, the sense of creation and destruction.

This concept developed in me as a reaction to what is happening in the world. What can I do to stop it as an artist? What can it give to the audience? I wonder why I always think about the audience. After all, many artists openly declare that they explore their own thing and the viewer is not important. In my understanding, without a viewer, it makes no sense for an artist to make art only for his own use. For himself, he can take a bath or eat ice cream. Everything the artist does aim to communicate with another person - art is all about people. The artist presents it publicly, so it is already meant for people.
So, starting from the end of February 2022 my desire is to do something to change reality. Unfortunately, it is difficult not to slip into criticism, aggression against aggression and condemnation. So I focus on my positive colour fields. But newspapers and the creative process began to play a different role. It has become more valuable and meaningful.
I hope to get people involved. Communicate during the newspaper recycling process. I believe that through joint work and conversation, we can find more explanations, concepts, and meanings of what is happening and probably become better.
Volunteers/Participants/Spectators should bring newspapers, and I will show them how to work with my technique or they will show me their ideas. We will create colour panels, after which I will install them on the house and make one surface out of it.
The material is not permanent, here the task lies in the experience that viewers or volunteers get.

After a certain time, the colour plates will be dismantled and reworked into new paintings.
Parallel to this process, one of the construction companies became interested in painting the house wall. But there were conditions for figurative work with certain elements of our city. I prepared more than seven options in a presentation describing the process of work, the history of the city and its integration into painting
technical installation and realisation
the artists who inspired me (HENSE street art, David Hockney, Vincent van Gogh, Kuindzhi, Weisgerber Albert)
Here I had to start studying the topic of working on the walls. But there is plenty of information on youtube about this.
The main message was to hold the action "Ecology of Mind" in the city and use the created elements in a large work on the wall. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond my control, the project was suspended.
