The images are subconscious reflections of myself and my surrounding – in lines of automatic drawing I intuitively notice and emphasize shapes and images probably important for me at that specific moment. I address both wider social and more narrower personal level – the issues are often the same. The figures act as a mirror that shows the real face of the popular culture and modern society … or like psychological inkblot-tests that allow viewers to dig deeper into their subconsciousness.
I avoid interpreting the figures too deep neither for myself nor for the viewer – this would limit other possible interpretations. For the same reason my works do not have “poetical” or “creative” names – just general descriptions.
There are no faces as the figures depict general ideas, themes or character lines and not so much specific individuals or persons. As soon as I start adding faces they become too personal. The viewer is of course free to connect figures to specific persons.
My aim is not (only) to create beautiful decorative hand-made products but touch all aspects of life – the same way as good literature, film, theatre, music does, being not always “beautiful” but often also more “serious”. But if we “consume” and value visual art as a temporary impulse (like watching a movie or reading a book or listening to music) and not as a decorative element that should be tolerable for years, many barriers will hopefully disappear.
In addition to traditional galleries I like to show my art in more public places – places where people really are, like city-space, shopping centers, libraries, offices, etc.
