ARTIST STATEMENT

I see the narration as crucial and necessary attribute of our existence into which every element of the reality is clothed - from a nail to a city. Hence my works are equipped with a plot, often very personal one. I am inspired by stories, because I firmly believe in a text. I run both some private shamanic practices and diversionary activities in the city. I deal with a magical dimension of our existence, the simultaneity of the world, André Breton’s objective chance and subtleties of the reality. A multitude of these themes abounds often with complex projects, responding to bothering me questions through various media which I often have to learn completely anew.
