We've seen robots in cartoons, films, video games, but in my work, this pop culture figure is united with the architecture. We can often feel angels, female faces, lions, etc., observing us from the façades of buildings, and these become the faces of my robots. My figure’s facial features are not typically “robot-like" - it's what we can see on the buildings. The figure has a humanoid face and a familiar, typically geometric, robot physique.  
The beauty of turn-of-the-century architecture is still powerful today. It defines street views, and emblematic buildings come from an innovative era as the results of the Industrial Revolution. This era resembles our digital/virtual revolution, in which robots and automation play an important role. While the Transformers robots we know from toys and cartoons transform from cars into robots, my robots are made from elements of buildings. They can protect buildings from destruction, which is why I've given them the name “Street Fighter”. This also aims to protect the era and its values, uniting these with the progressive values that transgress the ages. 
My approach to the past and tradition is complex. At times I treat them with melancholy by projecting utopian views of the past, the “good old days.” Anachronisms can also be found in my work. They are present with a copious amounts of cynicism, as they may also comment on the naivety of the times gone by.
The figure is made mostly from EPS (expondent polystyrene), which is traditionally used for insulation of building facades. It’s a characteristically long-lasting and dense material. A figure created from this material, however, is quite fragile. To prevent damage, a layer of two-component resin is applied to coat the surface of the figure. This layer protects against the sun, high temperature, and rain, so it aids in creating a figure that can be exhibited and stored outdoors. As the figure is not heavy, it is easily transported.

I reconstruct and transform idealized visual codes from the great historic eras. I attempt to follow the changes they go through, manipulate them and with them, from a more distant position, in terms of time and history. At times, I play with the canons of the past, treating them with nostalgia or irony, aware of their changeability and instability. To achieve this, I use the tools of the movements of the margins, often using spray paint and other materials for expression that are favoured by these movements. My hope is to establish a sort of meeting between seemingly opposing esthetic and art strategies in my works. The turn of the century and the culture of street art, two very distant and, at first glance, different worlds meet and intertwine in my works. I attempt to find the connections between the past and the present – their parallels and collisions.
