Artist’s Statement

I use a diverse range of painting and drawing techniques but mainly oil colours by glazing and work in thin layers with coloured pencils, too, to get optical illusions.
I construct ready made installations as well. On the other hand my exhibitions are like a big narrative installation work.

My teddybears are allegories of human beings.

My aim is to stand for human rights, communication and interaction, acceptance and caring, the right to express everyone's own sexuality, gender, freedom, autonomy, integrity, privacy, equity, safety and pleasure according to the mutual consent of persons of legal age.

My art is narrative and it speaks up, speaks out and takes a stand. It is marginalized. It is daring, edgy, avant-garde. It is graphic and revealing, underground and forbidden, x-rated.
Themes contradict the delicate lines of drawings, subtle tints and hues of colouring.
