Biography
In my works, I seek a personal visual language that lies at the intersection of figurative and abstract art. Moving beyond the visible, I strive to discover new possibilities within space, exploring the primacy of forms and their synthesis. I regard chaos as one of the means of achieving balance; however, the process of creation is based on simplification and generalisation. Thus, I am constantly searching for connections between colour, shape, and line in space, and I recreate these in abstract form, which opens up endless possibilities for connection through the exploration of the surrounding world. Abstract works remind us of the existence of another world, where, beyond rational materialism, there is room for the unknown and the incomprehensible. Here, each person sees their own projections, and therein lies its advantage. In the works I have created, there are numerous themes that resonate with me. These include the relationships between people, liberation from evil, and the triumph of good. It is a call to free ourselves from the superfluous, particularly that which prevents us from being happy.
