Eszter POROSZLAI
"...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?
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.
