ARTIST STATEMENT I am artist balancing on the edge of art, architecture and design. I am interested in the intersections of these creating fields and I try to push their boundaries. Significant materials used in my spatial artworks are wood, steel, water and light, which probably come from my homeland in a post-industrial area in the Beskydy mountains. My working process is based on a minimalistic, conceptual and contextual thinking method, which offers me countless possibilities of project media and scale. Connecting natural principles, traditional crafts and new technologies are a characteristic topic in my work and in my relationship to the world. I usually work on the scale of the object, architecture, public space and landscape. In my practice I am experienced in sculpting, architectural design, exhibition design and public space design, where all these skills are present. My studio projects are aimed at rethinking the traditional perspective on painting and sculpture. I love to let the things and materials with their forces act to create the art. In my paintings, water drops on the steel sheets makes natural drawings and daylight makes linear shadows. I am obsessed with penetrating objects and spaces to show new points of view, which are often hidden from everyday reality. I love to invent new perspectives and collaborate with other artists and architects. I believe the best work is born at the borders of connections. At my studio, my mission is to create unique art pieces that explore the beauty of the everyday. I am constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with new techniques.
