Statement

My current project uses an environmentalist approach to explore the relationship between nature and humanity. The natural ecosystem, as a symbolic and emotional space – to be surveyed and probed – is constitutive of my work. The aesthetics and resourcefulness of using natural, limited resources that originate from the rural environment in which I grew up with serve as inspiration for my work. I am interested in the physical and metaphorical properties of materials, their potential as carriers of knowledge and often deal with surface structures. Since art and natural sciences are in a constant exchange. My work is hybrid, experimental and is developed through a polymorphic body of work, ranging from sculpture to installation, from painting to photography. The creative process involves working with a diverse range of organic materials, including natural resin, mushrooms, stones, lichen, moss, and wood. Additionally, I explore the incorporation of elements from the synthetic culture industry into my work.
It always revolves around the various ways of perceiving nature and their significance for our understanding of the world.

My artistic work delves into the sculptural qualities of organic and ecological materials, as well as the texture of structures and surfaces. It begins with a morphological examination of the biodiversity of nature and the ecosystem. In my work, time is preserved, messages and possibilities condense. Layer upon layer. It’s a contemporary intervention into past consciousness. It’s always an excavation and remembering. My working material forms the emotional basis of a sculpture, it gives it the basic accent and determines the limits of its aesthetic effect. The appropriation of reality takes place through the material. A sculpture must awaken the memory of the earth!

The idea of ramification stems from the fact that my artistic work follows the restlessness of my creative urge, evolving in the space beyond the surface and leading to complex, rhizomorphic installations and concepts. My works move between an immaterialized past, a concrete present and a future yet to be revealed. In this way, I perform an exercise of cognition that attunes me to my surroundings – in this very moment – without ever being able to see beyond this moment.
Regardless of the medium, the result always reveals the subjective encounter with the world, in a conversation mediated by memory, in constant tension between remembering and forgetting, presence and absence, preservation and destruction, echo and silence.
