ARTIST STATEMENT

When you have “false awakenings” you are dreaming that you have woken up in physical reality even though you are still asleep. The dream of awakening is so vivid that the world you see appears to be too real to be imaginary. I have been experiencing such dreams from my earliest age. These paradoxical experiences lead me to believe there are many versions of “the real,” which is the central theme of my art.
 
My work explores various dimensions of “truth.”
 
I mix and fuse contrasting elements, visual languages, media, and techniques in order to portray my perception of the complex and multilayered nature of Reality. In my creations realities overlap, opposites unify, and the borderlines disappear. In this sense, the “in-betweenness,” transition, and multi-dimensionality represent the main concepts of my art.
