ON FLICKERING AND ERUPTIVENESS That world, which takes on a different form and pattern every moment, inspires us with its appearance with new relationships and intertwining. I perceive each of my paintings as a journey through such an ephemeral world. That journey is uncertain and full of unpredictability. My painting bears that stamp of uniqueness, in it I recognize past moments of creation and thinking. The image is the final result of all its changes and maturation. She herself changes over time, just like life itself. Saula Mile Saula Mile is a painter with a unique vision and a heightened sensibility for lyricism. Mile expresses his exploration of the unconscious mind through a highly layered abstraction that he gradually builds in the placement of contours, figures and mystical phenomena beyond the visible world. Although Saula’s work directly relates to the history of painting, combining abstract expressionism with various German influences, and is thus intimately tied to the historical lineage of master artists, he remains unfettered in expressing his imagination through his medium: oil paint. Saula says: “Painting is my inner need, my way of expressing life’s energy and vitality.” Everything starts from the feeling of some monstrosity of the world of reality. My answers are in the expression of color, in the formation of relationships that I build during the creative act”. Using the possibilities of fantasy and magic, his painting becomes an expression of a total response to the need for mental oxygen and escape. His practice is deeply connected to the new post-perceptual regime in relation to computer technologies. Although his mental landscapes are influenced by psychoanalysis, avant-garde art and literary movements, his work is deeply connected to the technologies of today. It could be said that they deal with the issue of representation on a different level; and through them opens space for a new understanding of our technologically mediated landscapes. In the context of the transition from optical to entoptic media, and the radical democratization of art generated by artificial intelligence, we are offered a new perspective on Shaula’s work. His approach to art is similar to how neural networks generate new holograms. His work is therefore populated not so much by abstractions, but by explorations of our psychological interior that give new perspectives on our individual and collective experience. Because of this change and the new emphasis on “what can be seen only out of the corner of the eye, where the images serve as guides that allow the viewer to discover their own contemplative states, visions and mental vistas”, we can truly appreciate Miletus’ artistic practice in today’s fully mediated, and therefore of artificial lives. Ethan Cohen Gallery, New York In his paintings, Mile Saula expresses himself with poetic aesthetics, and they themselves resemble dreamscapes and metaphysical landscapes. Saula strives to capture a reality that eludes precise articulation. His paintings encourage us to discover our own contemplative states, visions and spiritual views.
