Artist Statement
“In my work, I explore the relation of photographic imagery and painting. I use basic, almost ascetic forms. By combining them into a well thought-out geometric composition, I strive to achieve ideal simplicity. I believe that geometry is the language of nature, and art is the language of humanity. Therefore, I try to combine them in my artwork to create my own dimension of visual expression. Working on still lifes, I seek for a beauty in simplicity, in traditional forms that humanity has used for millennia. In today’s world of saturation, this minimalist project “Forms” provides an opportunity to distract from the superficial and focus on what’s fundamental.
In my project, "Plain Plane Cuts", I am using paper and scissors, along with the interplay of light and shadows. I am fascinated by the process of combining colors and shapes and attracted by the illusion of volume in these flat paper artworks. My intention is to present them to the viewer in a unique and unconventional interpretation. The seemingly meaningless plane in my work transforms into a tangible form, resembling an actual object. Through the use of the illusion of volume, I aim to surprise viewers and cause them to perceive an object that appears remarkably real, even though it doesn't actually exist.
In my research, paper is not a base, but a sculptural material that can take on different shapes and be assembled into various compositions.
I work with colour and use it to create contrast, gradient, harmony or dissonance.
With the help of light and shadow drawing, I get textured volume that I want to touch.
I am inspired by cubist and abstract artists: Georges Braque, Ben Nicholson, William Scott, Pablo Picasso and others.
Created using the simplest tools, my collage works are reduced to the basic elements of photography: light and shadow, form and color. Simplicity in everything, but an inspiring result at the end.
