Just like other artists work in series, I create art under different identities.
My “Identity” is somewhere between the Pseudonym and Heteronym. An identity might represent a remarkable period, an adventure, event, illness, a spiritual journey, or a significant change I go through.
What started as a private joke, gradually became my framework, the complex branched structure which my work is built upon.
My artistic evolution is inspired and guided by my identities, and when I look back at my life in the past 20 years, I see and remember the sequence of identities, not the calendar years.
I began painting in 1995, and since adopting my first identity in 1999, I have created art under 37 different identities.
How it all began? What does each identity stand for? and why did I invent it?
The list of identities below is the result of my reasonable efforts to be inclusive and chronological. I’m not done yet, and will update the links whenever I publish a new story.
