“To create, for me, is equal to experiencing all the
world’s cultures, to speak all the languages in the
world. The inspiration itself is not the important part.
For me it could be anything, a dream, a flower, or
maybe a thought. The point is that the end result
should be something that all the world’s cultures can
find themselves in it. The process is unspecified in
time. There are some ideas and themes that interest
me for a vey long time, either because they seem
inexhaustible or because I am not yet ready to implement
them.
It is not enough for me to just create a beautiful and
useful object, I find it equally important to be able
to mentally walk around it, to make it ageless, to
con dense an excess in the work that might give the
onlooker a glimpse in the artist’s inner world and
its values. What I find exciting in the contemporary art
is that the artists’ ideas interpreted in a personal
formu lation, is possible to express in more ways than
just through an object made by his or her two hands.
SZANTI, as a contemporary group of artists creates
a framework for the artists and their ideas where every
abstract thinking artist, either members of the group,
as well as invited artists, can show their creations.”
