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 evoke thoughts through my works. I place 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 the 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 palette of my works, the strong contrast of light and shadow, simultaneously make the often apocalyptic atmosphere of the scene dreamlike and philosophical, leading the viewer into a non-existent, yet seemingly real dimension – a familiar unknown.
In my work I operate on the borderline between painting and graphic art. In many cases, I combine the different techniques, exploring the same themes through multiple mediums. I create my graphics, paintings and reliefs simultaneously and in close connection with each other. My primary mediums are oil paint on one hand, and linocut on the other, but I also like using watercolour, acrylic, egg tempera, and other processes. I create my reliefs using various techniques as well, integrating different materials and objects found around me, such as wood, metal, or styrofoam.
I usually think in series. I repeat certain motifs until I completely explore a specific theme. As a result, certain visual elements resurface even years later.
