I evoke nature, especially horses which are my biggest and finest inspiration.
Horses enable me to be a part of something bigger, they expend my perspective
and liberate me from the outside world. The strong connection I have with them
gives me the freedom and power during the process of creating. The process
which is always long and unclear is a mixture between my intellectual and
empiric experiences. The drawings are coming from the deepest part of my
soul, born from circumstances and challenges I faced. I believe that a
continuously changing nature is mirroring my life and is defining my drawings.
My subject matter offers me an unlimited interpretation of life, movement and
the spirit than runs them all. I use traditional materials like ink and handmade
paper, with drawing techniques that allow me to pay tribute to my favourite
artists: A. Durer, Hokusai, E.Haeckel and K. Blossfeldt. I am influenced by
Japanese art where suggestion is used rather than direct statement. Also, the
Baroque which involves highly ornate, dramatic and complex composition and I
am transforming it into a strong and lively movement. The drawing style is
delicate but expressive at the same time further influenced by the Art Nouveau.
My lines capture the beauty of horses with heavily outlined forms, suggesting
power. My art reveals not only me as a human being but allows me to stay true to
myself. In my art practice I am exploring and redefining a formal response to
nature.
