As for most artists, it has always been important for me that a picture should not only portray what we see with our eyes, but I also strive to show the invisible and to evoke thoughts by my works. I put the simplest, most common forms and objects in my pictures giving them symbolic meanings. Through my unique, mythic and symbolic world I endeavour to formulate and explore such universal problems that characterize and affect everyone’s lives, thus opening up the opportunity for viewer so that the picture could live on in their minds, depending on their own thoughts or even their current state of mind.
The monochrome colours of my works, the strong contrast of light and shadow, simultaneously make the often apocalyptic atmosphere of the sight dreamlike and philosophical, leading the viewer into a non-existent, yet seemingly real dimension – a familiar unknown.
In my work I usually move on the border of painting and graphic art. I also use specific techniques that I have experimented by myself. In many cases, I combine the different techniques. I process the same themes with several tools. I create my graphics, paintings and reliefs simultaneously and in close connection with each other. My main tools are oil paint on the one hand, and linocut on the other, but I also like to use for example watercolour, acrylic, egg tempera. I also use various techniques to create my reliefs, applying various materials and objects – wood, metal, styrofoam and other materials found around myself – into the pictures.
I usually think in series. I repeat certain motifs until I have completely covered a given theme. Thanks to this, there are some visual elements that come to the fore even after years
