The painting series “Entelechy” made in 2017-24 is based on the Aristotelian concept of ENTELECHY - from Ancient Greek entelékheia coined by Aristotle from entelès “complete” tèlos “accomplishment” èkho “to have” - or rather the complete realisation and final form of some potential concept or function, the conditions under which a potential thing becomes actualized.The mere stuff or matter is not yet the real thing: it needs a certain form or essence to complete it.
Matter and form, however, are never separated; they can only be distinguished.
A particular type of motivation, need for self-determination, and inner strength directing life and growth to become all one is capable of being.
