Artist statement 

In my work I tend to navigate between the themes of identity, perceptions and connections with the world around us. In this artistic research I use humour, irony and the absurd as my main tools. I believe that these tools can offer a critical view of our reality, a reality I consider a big playground. Spontaneity, daily life objects and my surroundings are a big part of my inspiration. Also, some of my works require from the viewer active interaction and appreciation. Finally, I do not marry myself with just one medium or technique, as I prefer to experiment and try how the medium fits to the concept and not the other way around.
