My area of interest lies in everyday life. My object of research is merely anything that can be redefined or reinvented with the help of art.

My dialogue with the viewer is conducted through painting, which is not just color, but also difference in textures. I am currently working in two directions: creating abstracts and making minimalistic but meaningful paintings.

When working on my abstractions I often rely on my own photographs. I am attracted by unusual moments, impressive views and interesting connections. I reinterpret these images, extracting the most vivid impressions, and create artwork that speaks to the viewer in the language of texture and color. I am often focused on the process itself when the initial visual reference is only a starting point, and the final painting is the result of intuitive artistic actions, spontaneous decisions and sometimes even missteps in the course of work.
