About The Artwork

... In a series of pieces entitled Till Death Do Us Part, Beds, and Dreams several formal of features of marriage are recreated, starting from the wedding photo and the wedding vows, to the apologetics of the daily life of intimate companions, the bed as the space of their individual and partner diversity, exchange and potential agony due to the unintegrated Self in one of the most delicate unions of individuals – that being the marriage union. Especially in the series of prints Beds and Dreams, life with a partner can be seen as the most brutal imprint, the one without a printing proof, a configuration with no origin or perspective, constructed on “differences and delays”, that evolved on the incidents of a full match and a slipping of identical printmaking matrices /emotional states/linear configurations. The cycles Till Death Do Us Part, Beds and Dreams have evoked in a completely different way then the triptych She Bathed Regularly; the experience of an atrophic visuality, the anthropological game of contact and distance, gaze by contact, the interspace of an awakened and (not) exchanged sensuality, the story of the pure and unclean, the search for the Self as a time of the vagrant, transient and undomesticated but her/his very own irrevocable Other, the story of the apotheosis of love and humanity. All three cycles that have been in the making since 2002 although presented through the iconography of intimate records and places of fatal symmetry of the Self and its Other, through a search for identity at the place of its manifold origin, simultaneously present phenomena of complex social interaction and a culture where from the time of the Modern Age up till the present entwine the visual elements of the raw imprint and the aspects of things, memorabilia as objects between reliquary and portrait imprint, symbolic gestures of the living and gestures of the dead as well as the factual time measuring within one’s internal duration of pain experience, desire, and longing for love. ...

My artistic creations manifest the nuanced tension that permeates the junctures between life's unyielding realities and the impulsive stirrings of creativity, often materializing as ambivalent projections oscillating between the tangible and the fantastical. Central to my inquiry are fundamental questions probing the essence of my existence – why does my life unfold as it does, what emotions stir within me, what propels me forward, and how does it manifest visually? I craft introspective dialogues that traverse the realms of the internal and the external, the ethereal and the corporeal. The body, in my oeuvre, serves as a medium, transmitting profound meanings across the diverse stages of life – navigating the complexities of growth, maturity, motherhood, and the inexorable march of time. While my works stem from the autobiographical, constituting imprints of the soul and windows into self-awareness and revelation, they transcend individual narratives. They metamorphose into metaphors encapsulating the universal struggles and challenges faced by women at large. These creations, seemingly a resonant voice of feminist consciousness, extend beyond, resonating as a desperate plea for sustenance in the arid expanse of contemporary society, marred by prejudices against women and their societal standing. In my artistic practice, I deem digital media the most fitting conduit for my ideas. Its emergence has not only shifted the emphasis from manual to conceptual authorship but also aligns seamlessly with my artistic rhythm and cognitive processes. This choice is a deliberate embrace of a medium that echoes the contemporary zeitgeist and provides a fertile ground for the exploration of complex themes.
