Artist Statement

My artwork has critical view of the illusion of freedom in the contemporary world in which we are bound by rules of religion, ideology and society. Human psychology, complex relationships, social issues, materialism and socially engaged art in general,are fundamental
tools often used as the basis for the creation of the most of my artwork.

Throughout my experience and years of experimenting with sculpture I came up with an idea on exploring the voids and hollows of the sculpture as its fourth dimension. Integration of light in the sculpture led me to making series of works which border fine and applied
art, and at the same time they also became design products.

Through abstract painting I experiment and analyze my own and observer’s specific psychological states and emotions.

Experimenting helped me to gain the skill to master all new materials very quickly, but it also encouraged me to deal with unknown areas, especially with new, unorthodox materials and techniques.
