In my artistic practice, I mainly focus on the medium of painting. For me, the canvas represents a dynamic field functioning as a language to express various phenomena, which I typically capture in abstract and/or metaphorical forms. I often focuse on creating a fictional world that portray the diversity and interconnection of different realities, bearing characteristics of both physical and digital environments. My themes usually relate to individual identity in connection with robotization and digitalization, draw from gaming experiences, and encompass social and environmental issues. An important element of my paintings is the semiotic multiplicity and/or ambiguity of motifs.
