Artist's statement

Since I entered the artistic path and started looking for my own language of expression, I did a lot of trials and experiments with painting matter. I used to put together various materials and textures, testing different paint densities or different tools, sometimes completely random. At one point, I noticed that some of them had become a separate stage in my work, a direction that I should explore more deeply. I was looking for a simple and effective way to create an impression of spatiality in painting by using the minimum necessary means. Geometric spatial composition is the first step on this path and the aim is to express the complexity of human nature through these simplified means. The raw, simple, minimalist form with all the entanglement of the world has become a challenge worth trying to implement.
