My work expirements with free-form design, which takes into account the medium of the material. I am looking at the material through the lens of art history. When I know what has already been created, what ideas have been put in it. For me, the process of art creation is anchored in the history of art and the heritage of craftmenship. I work with a collection of numerous cultural traditions taken from various time periods. My works are a mixture of diverse styles manifested in a single piece that includes a meaningful network of symbols and a method of composition. The working process is absolutely crucial for me, this include the time spent working as well as the physical energy invested. It allowes me at one throw to play with reoccupying a hyper-materialist approach to sculpture and performative understanding of the sculptural. The idea is that a form emereges from this long , intellectual, and very physical process.
