Eszter Poroszlai

1974, Budapest

"...each span of time – a century, a year, a single night, perhaps the elusive present – encompasses the whole of history." Jorge Luis Borges

I imagine time as spherical.
I perceive reality in layers.
Máyá's veils obscure reality.
Can we look through the picture? 

I am preoccupied with vision, perception, the cognition of reality, the relationship between image and reality, the intersection between spaces and dimensions, between materiality and virtuality.

Inspired by the art of light, but with an insistence on manuality and materiality, I create sensual abstract geometric paintings, graphics, objects and site-specific spatial installations.
