    On the edge of a paralell world | 2023 - 2024

The figures of my paintings do not clearly appear to be real people. But I didn't want to make this effect very strong. One can only guess that these figures are perhaps not fully human or not real people. This is indicated by the fact that I always show only a fragment of the figure. I wanted to leave their ambiguity: they can be humans and non-humans. If the face is not visible because I cover it with something in the painting, then questionable whether it has a face or whether what we see is the phenomenon of the borderland between imagination and reality in a parallel world. The main subject in my pictures often appears in a window-like rectangle. This rectangle is a small reference to the screens that surround people today. And it can subtly refer to the online world and the computers where nowadays people live in parallel with their real life. The fragmentation in my paintings also refers to image debris produced by a computer software, to transience. They express a kind of peculiar loneliness and it refers to some strange entity in the online space, in the cyber space, which has a soul. And to me, they are a bit like mementos or memorials. A reminder of human existence. A mementos of the soul. I don't want to interpret the concept of the title "parallel world" exclusively as a metaphor for online space or screens, because for me this series means more.
