I AM AN ARTIST, A DESIGNER AND A RESEARCHER
ARTIST
I started with oil painting, and have now expanded my artistic expression to include mixed media. I love to experiment: the joy and energy of working with them are critical to everything I do.
My visual art strives to evoke a multitude of emotions and interpretations, encompassing the figurative, metaphorical, symbolic, and philosophical.
I believe that text can enrich an artwork without solely explaining it.
For the last several years, I have tried various combinations of painting, video, statistical data, ready-made objects, live substances, recycling art, Paintings_Dresses, VR and performative sand art at the seashore.
My thematic exploration expands and branches out in diverse directions. I search for connections to the past, the present and the future; mythology, human feelings, discoveries and new journeys, new worlds and planets, and the beauty of nature revealing in detail.
DESIGNER
I am interested in the broad meaning of design – not only the visual part but the way it works.
The most ergonomic ways to convey meanings to the audiences, copyright and informational architecture.
How aesthetics and structure can influence the perception and assimilation of information. How to control reading speed and quality of understanding in the era of mosaic thinking and clip consciousness.
RESEARCHER
My research often intersects with my artistic practice, seamlessly integrating into my art projects.
The themes of my academic research are related to visual arts as forms of communication, creativity, novel approaches and experiments. Magic of Theatre, Scenography, Architecture, Fine Art, Digital Arts, Dance and others are fascinating to me.
