Artist
Statement
My work in visual arts reflects the constant changes and experiences
in my personal life. I am guided by my feelings, thoughts, dreams
and visions. The sources of my inspiration are many. I love to
look for the traces of the people who came before and clues about
what they did there and why.
Journeys are an integral part of the inspirations. I am always
intrigued by the human cultural elements and visual stimulation
I encounter. I find that every place and culture reveals its beauty
to me in the everyday life.
I like to use symbols in my artwork and creating my personal iconography.
The symbols are the clues to many aspects of my life, but the
paintings usually start with a colour idea, then evolve into composition
in which colour is the primary subject.
I work in collage, various media on paper and canvas, mixing everything
possible to bring it to others in a visual format. Much attention
is given to the surface texture adding different materials, carvings,
scratching, glueing ... creating visual dialogue. I complete my
work using drawing techniques and whatever else it takes to communicate
my intended vision.
