Artist’s Statement
In my work I have a tendency to embrace the unknown and to work from inside out, humbly allowing glimpses of visions slowly revealed by intuition.
It is a vivid, rejuvenating process, during which I seem to be drawn towards new and exhilarating topics, at the same time trying to avoid or at least observe the emerging common beliefs and surrender to here and now. I try take responsibility of what I create, for I believe attention and focus have cumulative, increasing effect. So I try to select my topics carefully by heart. Sometimes it requires long walks by the seashore to find out, what would love to be created and to see the magic unfold.
