The Mediterranean Depth, Blueness, and Warmth
Creator that makes the blue warm!
........ I perceive a deep dialogue between the beauty of land, water, sky, and spiritual world of human being has already begun. Only an emotional aesthetical balance in the prosperous coloring can make the blue radiate warmth!... Here is the magic key of art; the color hears the deep emotional voice of the Creator ... And feels the warmth of the shadows in the heat of the summer…and feels blue’s warmth in the coastal landscape ... and feels the houses’ warmth in the cold winter landscape ... and feels the urban landscapes’ warmth, even when you do not have the man in the background or walking through paths or roads. It is there, embedded in the walls of houses, roads and streets, which have a prospective and an open perceiving horizon ...

The stone underwater world in the sea is an indicator of his creativity (the variety of pebble, stony, and rocky themes or concept-symbol STONE ... ) In most of the cases, his creative trend makes everything in front of us look alive metamorphosing them to the point of a symbol of life, a pictorial lyrical metaphor (the living stone, the composition of variety of expressive coloring stones in different shapes), suggesting that this world, this reality, has a logic essence... In the deep stillness the dramatic game of contrasts that is as spontaneous and coincident as codified rejuvenates ... unity of the opposites, the cause and effects, equal and create the radiation of coloring, meditative and overall aesthetic of emotional balance… The stone and the water, the solid and the fluid, the hard and gentle live together in a mythic friendship… The archetype of essence and existence: air, fire, water, earth are sublimated skillfully in Pashk’s art work. They have already …. individual and national experience and with the same energy they are becoming universal …
