As a contemporary artist, I follow an experimental and versatile path that is shaped by my deep love of the material and the desire to bring emotions into a tangible form. Fascinated by creative processes since childhood, painting has captivated me more and more in recent years. My works are minimalist and often monochrome, using natural materials such as walnut shells, stone dust, wood ash and many others. These materials have their own character and their own "rules" that I respect and incorporate into the design.
In my compositions, I consciously play with breaks and harmonious elements and create textures that invite the viewer to take a closer look and experience the surface not only visually but also haptically. I am interested in an unadulterated experience of art that gives the viewer space for reflection and the discovery of their own emotions. Unpredictable structures and shapes emerge that challenge the eye and can leave you speechless for a moment.
My works are regularly exhibited in exhibitions and art fairs and receive national and international recognition. They invite discovery, reflection on one's own sensations and encounter with the nuances of natural materials, which can be as lively and contradictory as human nature itself.
