Where the word ends, the image begins.
Art expresses what is unspeakable, what cannot be put into words.
This is a meeting of two parallel worlds – the visible and tangible one with the invisible and ephemeral. The space where only art creates universal language that everybody can communicate with, allowing others to immerse themselves in artist’s world while connecting with their own. Art requires no words or explanations and can mean something different to each person, shaped by their own feelings and experiences.
Through art, I express my emotions, reflections, and experiences — bridging the real world with the slightly mystical, revealing what is invisible and inaccessible at first glance. I delve into the subconscious, releasing what lies hidden deep within, in a search for truth and authenticity, both within myself and in the world around me.
This journey inward is an act of courage that brings me freedom and peace, releasing me from burdens and tension, and offering a sense of lightness and relief. My creative process is an invitation for others to reflect, to practice mindfulness, and to look within, discovering their own truth and the authenticity of their existence. In this journey inward, we uncover harmony, peace, and our own unique path.
In my artwork, I bring hidden aspects to light, revealing what needs healing—for myself and for the world. In this way, I become a guide, showing how art can be a path to transformation, healing, and finding inner balance.
My great inspiration for artwork comes from the profound beauty of nature and the world around, with its patterns, different shapes, textures and concepts, with its endless cycles of renewal and rebirth. Nature's ability to heal and regenerate is a constant reminder of the power of transformation - just as nature has the power to transform, I believe we also have the capacity for rebirth and growth, no matter our challenges.
Through my creations, I seek to express this transformative potential, capturing moments of healing, change, and personal evolution. I explore the delicate balance between destruction and renewal, illustrating how we can all become stronger, more vibrant, and ready to embrace the future. I’m searching for diversity, contrasting perspectives and ideas that may appear contradictory but come together in a unified and harmonious whole.
I experiment with unusual combinations, blending elements of abstraction and surrealism to merge the real world with the mystical. It is a journey to create balance and harmony from the contrasts of life, integrating them into one cohesive vision.
Curently, I am deeply engaged in various graphic projects, with a particular emphasis on the linocut technique and pen-and-ink drawings on paper. These traditional graphic methods provide a great range of artistic possibilities, allowing me to experiment with texture, form, and expression. Through the meticulous use of lines and dots, I create tonal transitions that not only generate contrast and depth but also bring out a specific mood and atmosphere. This process is essential in enriching the overall structure of my compositions, bringing them to life with both precision and emotion. Each piece offers a unique exploration of visual language, inviting the viewer into a world of intricate detail and layered meaning.
Graphic art has always felt deeply connected to the black-and-white analogue photography that I’ve been fascinated with for years. There’s something about the simplicity and depth of monochrome that allows for a more powerful expression, both in art and in photography.
By focusing on tonality rather than relying on colour, I’m able to bring out the essence of a scene and focus on what truly matters. The absence of color shifts the focus to texture, contrast, and light, offering a more subtle view of the world around me. I find great joy in walking through the city streets with my camera in hand, exploring forgotten corners or rarely visited spaces. Every place has a story to tell, whether it's an overlooked alleyway or a lively, bustling market.
Capturing everyday life, subtle moments, and unique characters becomes a way to uncover beauty in the most ordinary of things. It's about finding meaning in what is often forgotten by telling its story. Every photo I take is an opportunity to capture the moments of life that are easy to overlook or forget.
Once I’ve captured these moments, I retreat into the darkroom to develop the images. There’s something magical about watching the image emerge from the paper, an alchemical process that feels timeless. It’s a ritual, a way to slow down and truly engage with the photographs, allowing the scene to come to life in its own, unique way.
Driven by a curiosity and a constant desire for growth, I am always seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand my creative horizons. Whether through exploring innovative techniques or experimenting with fresh concepts, I am open to new forms of artistic expression that push the boundaries of my craft. This allows me to continually deepen my skills, refine my approach in the workshop, and enhance the visual and emotional impact of my work.
Apart from art, my lifestyle is a vital source of inspiration and nourishment for my creative process. My curiosity about the world drives me to travel often — slowly, with no rush, no expectations. I embrace the opportunity to explore new places, cultures, and experiences, always open to discovering elements that spark inspiration for both my artwork and photography.
I am deeply enthusiastic about the art of creating functional ceramics - vessels hand-thrown on a potter's wheel, made with precision and intention, created from nature, and which accompany us in our everyday life.
I love yoga, intuitive dance, and difreent forms of movement that are integral part to my well-being, birnging joy, anchoring me in the present moment, and nurturing both my body and mind - I cultivate a deep connection to my inner self, fostering strength, flexibility, and emotional balance.
I’m also passionate about mountain treks and a natural lifestyle, which connect me to nature’s rhythm and inner silence, providing balance, simplicity, and a deeper sense of purpose.
This is my world. Enjoy it with me!
