Artist's Statement

I study visually forms and functions of life. I make visual lists of organisms that do not actually exist. Through my works I face and discuss with new environments and with potential developments of science.
I paint, draw and sculpt flora, fauna, fungi, bacteria, protists and other microorganisms, also possible man-made non-organic life forms. They are all in a catalogue of speculative organisms. Above all my works celebrate the Life itself and it's diversity.
