ARTIST STATEMENT

In my art, I aspire to the interdisciplinary approach, I try to define the form by concept, therefore, there are no formal limits. I make sculptures, kinetic objects, performances. I would like to avoid aesthetics, I think the work can be timeless if it comes from the nature of its subject. I'm trying to find simple connections and through these to examine the big picture.


In terms of themes and subjects, I like to think about the future of fine arts (if is it possible get closer to the level of Malevich). I am interested in the mystery of the technological development of our time, the systems of social and political relations. I do not understand much how and how it works my art is often based on impressions.
