Artist Statement
In my artistic work, the most important thing is to create an emotional experience. Experiences that can inspire people to new ideas and create curiosity. I am fascinated by what I see around me, the environment, my dreams and also of course what I see in art exhibitions and in museums. But the historical perspective of the mysterious myths in the imagination that the humans have created is also significant. Both historically and in our time.
