ARTIST STATEMENT
Through my arts I research my feelings and different states of my consciousness that I experience in my life. I look for inspiration in routine events that we probably don’t even notice and are used to take for granted. I think those little moments actually form our life.
I like to picture the imperceptible by the eye but something one can feel. I want to share my vision of these moments, thereby engage a spectator in my inner world. By immersing in my thoughts and reflecting them, I try to comprehend myself and my emotions more and more. During the process of drawing, I just follow my hand, my mind and attempts to analyze are switched off.
The main feature of my art is a smooth transformation of forms, lines and shades – this is the way I visualize the changes happening inside me. My main art elements are color and line. They are not self-sufficient and codependent, thus they always interact with each other – just like the processes of our life.
