ARTIST STATEMENT

The main rule that I hold on the tip of my pencil is remaining in constant search for means of self-expression.

The themes, into which I dive in order to reach their innermost depths, are the nature of death and the surreal nature of life, love as sickness or as growth through the Other, the thin border between freedom and violence.

And then there is always the universe. Every work has to be filled with cosmic air.

My travels from one visual art genre to another (I have been through periods of graphics, illustration, installations, performance) happen because I consciously seek to erase firm boundaries between different approaches to art. My desire is to explore the world from all possible viewpoints.

I think my future as an artist lies in the sphere of multidisciplinary projects. The next step for me would be producing an exhibition in which two-dimensional fine art is weaved together with three-dimensional performance, the former gradually flowing into the latter. In the swirling dance of these two forms, two different dimensions, two different ways of perceiving art, perhaps, a new form of reality will be born.
