About the artwork

“In the “Senses” project, I explore the possibilities of intuitive perception. Using the simplest methods of visual expression – a spot and a line, I depict those moods, states and concepts that we especially often use in communication since the beginning of a full-scale invasion. Including this concept of freedom and will, which we rethink and reevaluate each for ourselves and in society as a whole. Unseen limitations encourage you to look for new opportunities, to reach a new level of growth and development.

My artistic practice is based on the study of nature, naturalness and supernaturalism of all living things. I sometimes balance on the surface, admiring the world around me in its simplicity and unpretentiousness, then I dive into the depths of the subconscious, exploring different facets of perception. Through my own observations, experience and creativity, I get to know the connection between external and internal, personality and society.

I use textiles as a material for painting and graphics. For me, it is important to make the viewer not just a bystander, but to encourage him to interact with art. Working with fabric helps me work with space and create objects in which a person can be both a subject and an object of art.”
