The main question that drives me, is fundamentally motivated by many attempts to elaborate one distinct thing - Is it possible to deliver something valuable from the present to eternity?

Questions about time, space, boundaries, seclusion, power relationships between people and within a person. Questions, that try to break down everything that is unequivocal, are actually building the framework for the main subject I am dealing with, the pain of consciousness.

In my process of work, I first destroy everything that represents a value, place, morality or limit for me, until all ‘life' is gone and only chaos remains. From here, I’m trying to rebuild the world again. There are faded landscapes, in which figures are walking, who’s body is a bag of needs - allegories of the decline of the decadent human society in our time.

Besides, I breathe better when I’m drawing.
