“My work focuses mainly on the surrounding chaos caused by the violent condition and represented by multi-layers of contradiction, incompatibilities and the network of relations between affects. Abstract objects and subjects. I have always been fascinated with the Baroque Paintings and amazed by their complexity of composition and visual theatrics. Also, many other expressionist artists from various eras fascinate me. This has proven more fulfilling to me as an artist because it allowed me to address the human condition in it’s surrounding environment. This ‘human ecology’ is now the focal point of my art. These works are created in a moment of concentrated energy and sensitivity, which becomes a collage of poetry, depicting the effects of relative reality. In totality which remains as a departure point that never takes its full shape, but gives the viewer a point of communication.”
