Artist's statement
The language of art is a way to more figuratively and metaphorically express my feelings and thoughts about the reality around me. I am not interested in reflecting physical reality as it is, I am interested in interpreting it, finding new meanings and forms. I am interested in digging up and showing the essence of things in my works. The world of my art is subjective, so I hope it will be interesting to the viewer. I work in the techniques of painting, graphics, collage and digital art.
