Involved with spur of the moment event, Sisman incorporates abstract narrative language, his works contain a naivety and simplicity in contradiction with the commotion and ideology of life in general. These ‘events’ that emerge are tossed into the open by passing them through an emotional and perceptual filter of data and situations in the external world without preponderance. His works are a momentary / flow related audiovisual process

People start recognizing they are nothing when depth of their awareness enhances.’’ Its the nothingness within the most intricate details that allow for his complex simplicity.
