About The Artwork
"Lady Death with Her Dog" is a theater marionette who has had a happy life on stage. She played the main role in puppet spectacle for grown-ups « Tale about Old Death » , a philosophic fairy tale about the wisdom and spleen of old age and the naïve exultation of youth. Remembering the death helps to appreciate the beauty of life. Work series about Lady Death began with a fascination with Mexican culture and European myths. I learned that the best way to overcome the fear is to stay and look into the eyes of Lady Death. Contemplating our mortality is a wonderful philosophical concept, a reminder of how close are life and death every day of our lives. Never-ending life would have no meaning. Without life, death would be unthinkable. As C. P. Estes beautifully said, one has to get to know Lady Death in order to love truly and deeply. In this light one does not see Death as something terrifying anymore, in this case she is a keeper of eternal wisdom. Size of marionettes may vary due to changeable length of strings and their position in space. Both Lady Death and the Dog have their consoles and the range of their movements is quite vast.

My love for printed words is so strong that I make paintings and sculptures from orphaned books. I add different sorts of paper, textile fiber and found objects and treat this mixture as if it was a marble mine. I regard all human-made commodities as the raw material of the 21st century, they add opulence, playfulness and weirdness to my objects. My sculptures are hybrids - installations, huge marionettes and idol figures. I overcome gravity using a technique from marionette theater. Sculptures float in air and strings make them alive. I paint because I'm volatile. I catch all my demons and fears with a brush, so they are not threatening anymore. I'm hesitant, that's why I paint portraits in real time. Models don't have to speak. Sometimes I lay paintings in a horizontal plane, like huge rolls of parchment. The public can touch it, walk and crawl on it, contemplating the importance of daily grounding. I'm a mystic. I borrow deities and create semisacred, eerie spaces where sculptures, paintings, words and animation merge in a numinous, baroque amalgam. I love the tactile. My objects are sensuous to touch. I love word constellations, so there are collections of short stories to accompany the visual work. In a courageous mood, I transform stories into puppet performances and collaborate with theaters and musicians.
