The main field of my interest in art is gravure printing in general, serigraphy and installations with the use of graphic prints.

Topics I like to touch on are analysis of my emotions and reactions, identity both in solitude and in a crowd. I also raise the subject of issues of contemporary society.

self-commentary

A series of graphics called „The Path” illustrates my ongoing journey as an artist and thought connected to it. Eachgraphicdepictsfeelingsaccompanying the process of making and every emotion is unique. The individual layers of print are piled upon each other to mimic the muddle of thoughts and emotions mixing with each other at the same time. An idea to create this series came from my inner need for self-discovery and to find my own path to becoming a conscious artist. It is both self-analysis and self-confession. Metal sheets I used are recycled which is a reference to my other artistic creations. In the process, I give a new meaning to things that would otherwise be labeled as „trash”. Small matrixes were originally made by me at the very start of my artistic education and work as a symbol of my previous works. Individual graphics do not have a title as they should be perceived as one.
