About the artwork

“I like to fill the space with some unusual ideas, shapes and lines. I try to find elusive meanings and feelings, pass them through myself and get my own reflection on established concepts. In each collage, I create my own invented world, which opens up to the outside viewer and makes him think about simple and vital questions.

Choice is an element of freedom that we face in everyday life. Time will show how independent and effective any choice is. The illusion of choice is a game that our subconscious plays with us in order to gain a guide in life and create an illusion of freedom”.
