Statement

Color is "merely an instrument." Mark Rothko


Mancino`s Artist statement:

I don`t want to develop a new style in art….I don`t want anyone to call me skillful… I personally hate working on details!,,,I only love to generate colorful feelings in heart flowing freely! I want to make bridge between two centuries,,I want a little time traveling back with my art,,,!-This is how I can describe my purpose in short version!......
...if somebody could catch the feeling from my art,,then I really achieved my goal, because I was able to make the viewer fly back to that century that is actually lost forever! You don`t have to be child again to understand the main rules in my art. You only have to remember the time when you first developed the colors and shapes of the world around you!-So where is the time traveling?.....that`s actually in your heart!


A Little About Art

”What exactly do you want to achieve with art? You’re living in your painted backyard of your soul, perhaps you like to come out sometimes. You like to show yourself to other "backyard occupiers”,

..you start to speak up and you have a colorful conversation,,
everybody is able to see your existence ..of course you can choose to stay inside ,,, you can speak,, but there will only be one listener who will listen,,,, that's you!"...
The art was moved to my attention early in the childhood.The first time my parents gave me great opportunity by their art painting book collections. Wasn`t so difficult to realize the world of art is a very wide and colorized stage.Through my own time to time investigations, I was touched by shapes, landscapes, surreal, abstract and realistic themes.I realized the fact that shows, every artist makes pictures by their own view points ,that means, everyone of them wants to show something from their own life collections.This is the fact that actually shows every art style has something from personalities,life experiences,feelings of soul,view points of life, according to their origin.They have different features and those can generate different meanings in you. Some of them you like,, some of them you don't.. but you don`t want to forget the base line fact, you can`t just talk about pictures in a concept like,,, they are good or bad. Some pictures can meet your personal criteria because they are able to give you something special some actually can't. In those you actually got the positive impression, the artist was able to give you something that actually good to see and makes you feel the way you feel.This actually means,, you and the artist meet somewhere some point in soul.
