Artist’s Statement

My works are mostly born as a result of an observation, which preoccupies the imagination. I choose the medium for the work according to the visual idea. Working intuitively, in the beginning, I don´t surely know where the motif comes from, in processing it I remember. Then the motif brings up more images. During international art symposiums I often make installations. I aim at express something local, using the themes and materials found in that region. I like the international artistic cooperation. At present I´m interested in simple things, minimalistic, abstract and conceptual expression.
