Artist’s Statement

I enjoy working in various fields of art. Recently, the advocacy of artists has been more relevant, while being in the board of several artists' associations

Lately, my interest has been strongly directed towards writing as well.

As an artist, I started as an actor in the theater, then music, media art and finally a writer became important.
