Artist’s Statement

I believe that art is about observation, thinking, discussing and influencing. In recent years I have been working with paintings, assemblages, installations and participatory elements. In many works, the artist’s expression expands and becomes an instrument of direct communication and interaction.
The present life, attitudes, and introductions to the political debate are pictured in my paintings.
