Artist Statement
The word is the foundation of my artistic practice. I wrote my first poem when I was six years old, and that’s when I felt wanted to pursue literature for the rest of my life. My professional journey as a writer began in 2008, when I went to Institute and started writing short stories. I include seven years of silence chosen consciously in the author’s formation. Photography was unlocking the dormant flow and helped me to allow myself to be.
I’ve been making visual art since 2020. I work with small series. My dominant mediums are photography, text, digital collage and art objects. I also use found objects. In terms of form, I am close to the principles of minimalism, where an author achieves the concentration of meaning through verification. I also sympathize with naïve art and expressionism for their freedom and directness in expressing feelings. For me the idea, observation and search are primary. After there is giving form to the unconscious. I like to translate an idea through a bundle of mediums, creating voluminous works that that take it beyond the notion of linearity.
In my projects, I often address the ecological agenda. I not only expose the traces of man in nature. But also I try to find ways of recuperation of the lost connection between man and the environment. My interest in this topic stems from the place where I was born and grew up. A small town and a house next to a protected forest have fostered in me a reverent attitude towards nature. Dialogue plays a key role for me as a way of building new relationships with nature and urban space.
I am interested in the human being from an anthropological point of view. His sensory experience, the peculiarities of psyche and memory. Also, interaction with living beings. Not from the position of anthropocentrism, but on a par with other species. I perceive the world as a single organism where everything is interconnected. And one thing flows into another softly. Like a tree with many trunks and roots or a large mycelium with countless hyphae. In my artistic practice, I want to identify as many of these surprising connections in everyday life as possible and enter the territory of the strange and understudied, where familiar patterns break down and take on another meanings.
