Artist’s Statement

My techniques are oilpainting, woodcut and mixed media. As mixed media I usually make three dimensional or multidimensional works by using mostly recycled materials.

I describe life phenomena usually in an abstract or in a symbolic way. However you can also see some references from nature in my works.
