Artist statement
I’m an artist and graphic designer. With a background in historical science, I also have been involved with music throughout my life. These varied activities are interconnected for me and shape my interests.
Since 2009, I’ve been engaged in performances that combine improvisation / experimental music, theater and contemporary art. Now my creative pursuits encompass collages, objects, sound art and video art. Both visual and semantic are important in my art practice.
I am interested in working with local (national) context, with language, historical and cultural heritage, recognizable traditional themes and materials, as well as rethinking the traditional in the context of modernity. I strive to find paradoxical points of interaction between the old and new, history and future, classic and experimental, digital and analogue. In my artistic practice, it’s very important and valuable for me to work by hands, feeling the material, volume, weight.
