„I embraced the urge to simplify inner being, and started using simplification method in pursue of awareness of myself and the surrounding reality. Abstract thinking and then language are the tools that lead you towards the essence of mere existence and universal truth. I draw my inspiration mostly from relations in nature, and with an abstract approach, I’m trying to break the code of the visible, material world. Of course, there is always an emotion that leaves a beautiful, unique mark at the end.“
About the “Archetype landscape”
Memories are dynamic, emotional images, deformed over time by subsequent experiences and events. On the border of the real and the imaginary, they bring us back through space-time to the dimensions of feelings and meta-landscapes, which again awaken familiar experiences in us. Therefore, intuitive memory is perhaps the purest, which comes to us spontaneously and seeks its expression through the art form. Woven from fragments of past experiences, it becomes an archetype of one category of memories and its unifying image.
