KINETIC DRAWING

Kinetic drawing as a visual documentation of movement represents one of the interesting, exciting, and creative ways of connecting movement and visual art. Through this process, the boundaries between movement and visual art are transcended, creating artworks that simultaneously speak of physical expression and visual sensibility.
Research and choreography are in some way involved in the creative process of kinetic drawing. This integration of artistic disciplines allows me to use the experience of movement to create a visually powerful and emotionally deep artistic work. The dynamics of improvised movement in line with emotional state dictate the shape, texture, and continuity of the work, thus creating a unique visual narrative that conveys the diversity and complexity of human experience.
Kinetic drawing is not just the documentation of movement, but also a way of expressing and preserving movement in a creative way. Through this practice, I not only bring movement to life but also create a lasting artifact that speaks of an artistic journey. This artistic form reaches maturity when the spontaneity of movement is combined with the subtle expression of line, color, and texture on paper, creating works that are both deeply personal and universally relevant.
Through kinetic drawing, I explore my body, movement, and emotions in a unique way, opening up new spaces in my art and exploring new ways of expression. This practice is not only technically challenging but also emotionally fulfilling, providing me as a performer with the opportunity to explore the complexity of human experience and to convey it through my artistic work.
