Artist Statement

My work deals with the space between the material and spiritual world. I am looking for a perfect form to show through the metaphor the complexity and richness of the universe from the position of my existence. I am inspired by nature and everything that is important to me in my place and in the world. Sometimes these are moments of existential reflection, sometimes personal experiences, sometimes general problems such as transience and nostalgia for beauty, goodness and truth. My works are created in cycles that are to show in a poetic and metaphorical way the complexity of the topic and the ambiguity of both concepts and matter. Philosophical reflection, inquiry of spiritual truth were the inspiration and imperative of my cycles such as "Meditations", "Prayers", "Amen" and "Tree of Life" and the last cycle "Eden". I want my artistic language to be interesting so that I can convey the richness of the nuances of the internal and external world and encourage the recipient to reflect.
