ARTIST STATEMENT

I am interested in processes, in the traces of a given event, its imprints, in drawing attention to them, revealing and picturing them, grasping ephemeral things, and at the same time conserving them at a certain state. They are like wind, water or humans, the visual effects of different processes of life on the surrounding material, variables placed in a different context. My works show time and the effects of the environment. The rationalist approach of observing apparently monotonous and uniform masses, events or processes from a distance, the empirical approach, the observation of happenings from the inside reveals enormous, changeable and non-repetitive content. Neither of the approaches could exist without the other. The happenings, materials that we generally view from the outside appear in infinite variations having had a closer look once. Similarly to a fractal, there is no final, ready, measurable state. The goal is to grasping the phenomenon as an autonomous unit and mapping its interior structure. My works are unique stories of 'any matter' where visibly appear the non-recurrent nature of life.
