Tak Salmastyan Art
MANIFESTO-STATEMENT
I am the King of Spiritual Hooligans without borders or limitation, a dreaming voyager celebrating love, misery, light, and darkness of the universe through vivid imagination, spurious style, and striking color. No doctrine confines me. Not realist, not surrealist, not socialist, not cubist, not capitalist, not impressionist, not modernist, not conformist. Only Artist.
I do not depict the world. I reveal its fracture.
My paintings are not about what we saw, or what we see, or what we will see.
They are about what we felt when we saw them, what we feel when we see them, and what we will feel when we see them.
Beauty must carry disturbance.
The human form is unstable territory.
Faces are not portraits. Bodies are not anatomy. They are shifting identities, layered memory, and spiritual damage made visible.
Symbols are more important than subjects.
Objects carry authority. The object remembers what the human forgets.
Repetition is ritual, not duplication.
Each return deepens meaning and expands the myth.
I do not explain. I allow recognition.
Confusion is permitted. Indifference is not.
I am not part of a movement. Only Artist.
The work is one body.
Painting, text, image, symbol, all belong to a single organism.
Nothing stands alone.
