HAIKU INTENTIONS


Ili Eve "The autumn"





Ili Eve "The moon"




 These are some of the paintings from my exhibition that I made in November. All of the seventeen paintings are the same size, 120 x 40 cm.

  Painting and my fascination with haiku poetry merged paths in this exhibition, using the haiku form as an inspiration, without the resulting painting turning into illustration of the poetry.
  Haiku is the shortest poetic form, it considers a short moment in time, based on direct observation of a natural phenomenon in close distance.
  The nature is viewed in it's fragmental quality.
 In haiku poetry there are no metaphors, and the author often stays hidden. He is "the hand that points to the sun".
