Artist Statement:
My works are a
mosaic of mixed media: photography, drawing, painting, performance, photomontages,
and collages all in a traditional and digital integration.
The most intimate form of my expression is paintings – art of action and
graphic design mixed with photography- specific collage of irony, perceiving
the reality, my rebel. My paintings evolve organically from life's everyday
glances. Rather than trying to force my will on them, I give them total control.
Each layer determines and guides the next. My paintings, my photographs, also
my digital works are a dialogue between giving and taking. I don't want to sign
the work until it looks like it has been lived on, until I have violated the
open white space and created something that can become independent of me and
fend for itself. My works and research explore conceptual relations between
cognitive processes, languages and cultures, as well as existentialism and perceived
reality, in which an infinite human imagination constructs and distorts an existence
into an illusion of reality.
The role of provocative feelings, persuasion as well as the human impulse to
beautify compels my works of art. The ephemeral nature of being, how it intersects
with the manifestation of various power structures and binary gender codes and
how the minutia of detail poses as the illusion of choice is the heart of my
art.
My inspiration is a complexity and depth of single individual feelings, getting
out of mental barrier. In my art, especially in painting I’m trying to
connect the way, which forms states human anxiety, intimate and difficult to
articulate states. I’m looking for a path, which in a strange and unexpected
way will guide me through the difficult and sometimes sensitive emotions. My
inspiration is human face it’s mimic of, happiness, sadness, pain, glances.
Glance which reaches far beyond the borders of body and soul. This glance is
exactly what I’m trying to catch. Glance imprisoned behind the pane of
glass. This glass symbolises small prisons of our souls, prisons which are built
for indifference of other people. Inspirations of my projects are often mannequins.
Mannequins moulded on human similarity and imprisoned behind the shop fronts.
The mannequin, his stiff glance, rigid gestures, has for me and my art plenty
of meanings. My inspirations are deeply rooted in myself. Each process of creation
is for me like setting a bird free from the cage. I’m trying to search
for inspiration every day, reach the deep feelings hidden below the surface
of appearances. Pull them out from behind the window pane. That’s the
reason – why in my painting only my hands are the tools, why in photography
I apply tight views and extreme close – ups, why I use the multiplication
and repetition element. Thanks to that, a sort of space is created, where the
artist gets really close to his projects. It is a permanent record of fleeting
sensations. This release from naturalism is a real struggle between the forces
of creation and destruction.
What I am looking for? My eye is always a foreign, cynic but always in love
with people eye. I am looking a connection, inspiration to build and continue
my art dialogue.
