Biography
I turn my attention to everyday life in order to stop it for the viewer, inviting him to contemplate and comprehend the present moment and himself. This is a kind of a stop at great speed, when everyday life suddenly acquires its own voice and mystery. I am looking for a state between the presence in a particular moment of reality in all its material fullness and the feeling of spiritual connection and unity of humans and the world, filled with love and light. This feeling is part of our natural existence, and my artwork invite the viewer to remember this, causing a feeling of vague recognition and elusiveness.
Paintings are soft, ethereal and loose, the boundaries between objective reality and our assumption about it are washing away; interiors turn to fantastical exteriors. There is a dialogue between the conditional and the concrete: some objects, passed through the prism of memories and emotions, are blurred, turning into an illusion, others come to the fore, gaining clear contours and weight.
I use mixed media: acrylic on canvas, oil pastels, sometimes with elements of collage or embroidery. I'm interested in the interaction between intentional and accidental in the art process, that is why you can see the free flow of paint next to more realistic "controlled" images. I use bright, life-affirming colours and themes, trying to convey the idea that our perception of reality is its integral component and it is in our power to control and modulate our subjective reality.
