Statement
Art for me is a way of understanding the world and a way of communication.
Topics that are interesting for me:nature and environment; communication between artwork and viewer: perception of real and abstract art, emotions and personal feelings; effect of art on society.
An idea is more important than material. I enunciate my narratives in art-projects. That is why I am not keeping to a single media or style. I create series trying to fully embrace the topic and choosing the best methods for each of them.
As art is public, demonstration of artworks and perception of them by the viewer are inalienable parts of it. That is why I am sure that art should be understandable by the audience. I try to communicate with the viewer with understandable language.
