About

Statement

My artistic practice is interdisciplinary and includes objects, installations, graphics, and photography. The focus of my attention is everyday life. I reassemble ordinary forms and familiar patterns, creating a new semantic field in which a sense of déjà vu can arise. The themes I address relate to loneliness, fragility, hope, naivety, and sensitive aloneness. Recognizable silhouettes acquire a new logic in sculpture and graphics, while in photography a shifted context reveals an elusive image.

The main material I work with is ceramics. It makes it possible to create a three-dimensional form, almost a being that did not exist before. Three-dimensionality is what sculpture and a human have in common, and this can lead to empathy. At the same time, ceramics is a durable material with an absolutely unique sound and a wide range of plastic, graphic, and pictorial possibilities. My emotionality seeks an outlet in immediate action and utterance, but the conditions of the material force me to choose expressions more carefully, concentrate on the main thing, and do not always tolerate my impulsiveness. Ceramics balances, allows me to hide behind its materiality and objectivity. It is indisputable. By incorporating this material into my practice, I simultaneously expand and limit it, feeling out my own expression.

The search never stops and has become a way of life. It is exciting and fills the days with meaning. It allows me to be.
