'The Other Side'
90cm x 56.4cm (35.4 x 22.2 inch) , from limited edition of 5 plus 2AP

"Once there was a woman living in a beautiful home, a large palace with many rooms, vintage furniture, decorated by numerous old paintings and large mirrors.
She spend her days exploring the rooms, reading books and entertained herself by playing with many animals that lived in her palace. However, although rich and with many options she had to spend her days, she got bored very easily. She had everything, but still was missing something in her life. Sometimes it seemed her palace felt like a lonely place that lost its shine.
One day she heard there was a secret passage hidden in one of the rooms, which lead to some strange worlds, where animals could talk and fish could fly and where many great things could happen. Supposedly in these worlds even the fruit had some crazy stories to tell.
The woman was trying to find the passage for a long time, although she felt anxious about where does it lead to and what happens once she finds it.
One night, while lying awake in her bed she though about her life and how she needed a change but didn’t know how to make it happen. She hoped that beyond that secret passage existed another world for her, a world where she could be someone else, other than just a simple woman and where ordinary things were maybe not so ordinary and where her beautiful but kind of boring palace may turn to the world of wonder again. Suddenly she noticed a black cat, the one she never saw before, walking around the room and then stepping out of it through the door into the dark corridor. The woman decided to follow the cat to see where it is going and after a while she saw it entering the wall in the nearby room. She just jumped into it, like it was made out of liquid. The woman reached to the wall with her hand and suddenly she found herself on the other side of the wall. Things were never the same again..."


My works are complex photo collages based on my own photography. I have been collecting photographs for over a decade. It is a long process of combining carefully selected photography fragments and illustrated parts, which are then transferred to computer and digitally painted.

"I am inspired by my surroundings and I see potential in various everyday things and relations, people, nature, architecture, even food. I see them sometimes as fragments of my work. Most of times they stay just that, fragments, and sometimes they become unified into a whole and therefore start to exist as a part of my sceneries.
By using real life photographs and textures I give my work a feel of realism, although the themes are far from being realistic…"
