I wasn’t sleeping I didn’t cry Print

I consider my creative process elemental – as if natural forces act through me in their own rhythm, offering sources of inspiration that are unpredictable and arrive unexpectedly. It could be a real or imagined everyday situation, an overheard conversation, a passage I’ve read, or simply a thought that drifts in. It begins to ask for a physical form, and I try to embody it through curious, almost magical process. My works are often connected to an inner feeling that, I hope, the viewer might recognize in themselves. The scenes resemble fragments of daily life – simple, domestic moments that, when felt attentively, become significant. I’m moved by seemingly unremarkable situations that, when experienced inwardly, can feel intense, even dramatic. I work with mixed media: various paints, pencils, graphite, varnish, markers, textiles or poetic text. I enjoy blending genres, and visually my works often balance between abstraction, sketch-like gestures, fauvism, illustration, or a naïve style. I create relief pieces using a personal technique: surfaces of plywood or plastic, cut into specific shapes, are layered with paint or textile and assembled into irregular, textured wall-mounted objects. For me, creating is a way to discover, feel, and explore human experiences and relationship with nature.
