"The art itself is a kind of religion.

My fields of interest are the issues of inner freedom, temporality, emptiness and the body in it.

 

I choose materials which lost their basic function to build sculptures of large formats, associative forms and figurative character which continue its development process in different spaces, sometimes being transformed into installation.

 

If you create things which bear life and manage to transpose it further then you become a part of the holy trinity and that’s how art lives. This is a kind of obligation given to you. Love is the essence of art, everything else is just a sport."

My art work deals with issues regarding inner freedom, temporality, emptiness and the human body that is given to us. The sculpture gives me large breadth and fullness.The forms are associative, mostly of figurative character, amorphous, have large-scale formats and their non-defining state best describes the issues I am interested in. Mostly, I use materials which have lost their basic function such as: jute bags, fishing nets, wool, hay and ground. And that “ used and discarded ” feature of material represents an excellent starting point for my work. My aim is to rename them and put them again into the machine.
