Kavanism is a new approach representing tension in a composition space invented in 2023. Kavanism brings different brush direction to go against each other in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear charged with force and counter tension.
"I paint and destroy my canvas to come up with a new painting that goes against my will."
In Kavanism the final stage of the painting is destroyed by turning the canvas and cutting geometric
shapes on the back of the painting and flipping them 360 degrees to create a new composition.
Counter brush direction
Geometric shapes. ...
Rotated cutouts
Deconstruct and reconstruct composition
Kavanism abandoned the idea of art as an idyllic imitation of the painter's nature, instead it returned to reassembling the subject into new shapes to represent a fresh, more complex version of the painter's reality and level of anxiety.

What is the origin of the Word? The word "Kavanism" is a play on the Hebrew words "Kavana" (intention) and "Kivun" (direction).
Why the Interrupted Line? The central visual element is a single, interrupted line that represents a departure from a continuous, accepted path.
A symbolism of Change? The desire for change, the interruption signifies the "change" and the crack needed to detach from the heaviness and stability of the current stream of things.
Tell me more about Tectonic Detachment: The process described on the canvas by rotation show an inevitable tectonic detachment from the old generation and its outdated ideas.
Emergence of New Ideas have any connection to father and son, future and past generations: You are right, these new ideas eventually gain their own "life and desires," forming a "counter line" to the original. Kavanism is a direct reflection of the artist's relationship with society, reflecting interpersonal and in the same way political tensions. I believes that art should be an expression of deep, sincere and playful experimentation, and viewers can feel this true intention . The "black line" is not just an aesthetic element; it is charged with energy and the potential to create change.

Over time, the artist learns that all the virtual ways for his personal progress and growth do not work. At best, he is forced to understand that his way to self- and spiritual growth is only through society and personal and human encounters.
Contemporary art is currently limited and dedicated to a dream in which the artist needs to improve his marketing skills more than what he creates for and for whom. The bookshelves are full of books that come to plan the artist to be a source for money and trade and not as a source of expression of the inner soul.
A work of art whose sole purpose is to be sold is meaningless. In "kavanism" or in any art form or "ism".
