/ARTIST STATEMENT
ARTIST STATEMENT
I use symbolic such as: house, star, horse, moon, apple, which are recurring, almost sacred elements of my art. I enjoy experimenting with various materials and techniques, creating multi-layered works of art that change and transform in the process.
My artistic practice embodies an exploratory approach aimed at reflecting my own experience within the context of a journey. My artistic evolution has led me to diverse materials and practices, including painting, digital 3D objects, installations, illustrations, and video art. My research methodology is closely linked to a design-oriented approach. In my practice, I pay attention not only to aesthetic form but also to how materials, tools, and techniques substantiate conceptual content. I draw inspiration from the past, present, and possible future scenarios, and external factors such as cultural, social, and biological influences shape the context of my work.
I explore the theme of the path that unites external and internal events. I envision this path as a river that never repeats itself and is always moving. The perception changes depending on the context, which is why my art is so diverse and multifaceted. I am not interested in standing still and becoming a prisoner of one material or technique. My goal is to constantly evolve and find new ways of expression, so that each of my projects is unique and inspiring.
