Artist’s Statement

ART is political act. I make my statement about society and culture with art. In my art I often work with femininity and human relationship with nature. We are part of nature, everything comes out of it. How long we will exploit it?

My soul is seeking northern shamanism to calm down and to see through all this shit.

I’m using ecological and recycled materials to make art, using new and old techniques. I cannot restrict myself to use only one media, I need new/therapeutic challenge for my artisan hands and brains, but performance brings art brut out of me.
Being outsider gives me the strength to break down the unwritten rules of contemporary.
