Artist’s Statement

My main mediums are photopolymer, lithography and installation art. My artworks are crystallizations of slow and exploratory working process. Black printing ink and abstract landscapes or visions, in which the documentarity of photograph and ambiguous nature of handicraft occasionally merge, are distinctive elements in my work. Whatever I am working on, I approach the process by immersing myself in the nature of the technique I am using; what kind of interpretations of reality are possible to transmit through that specific technique?
