“In my practice, I work with images using the double power of images. In figurative painting, I move away from the concept of narration in favor of a combination of different semantic layers.
The study of the sacred through the image of the suffering body has a significant role in my practice. I use such material as gesso primer in my works which is traditionally used in icon painting.”
