Grahovsky has always found it difficult to put into words what the spirit perceives, what the heart feels. More concerned with what to paint than how to paint, in this creative stage, he frees himself from stylistic constraints and makes the process the center of his artistic production. He lets himself be guided by intuition and paint for things to happen, to see what cannot otherwise be seen. Initially trying to tame the unknown, an effort that quickly proves futile. It’s better to take a deep breath and take some time, let the gaze wander around the wall, and let the unconscious start to see, to construct a story that seems to want to tell itself. Let the wall look at us, and not us look at the wall.
