I am working within the fields of drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and performance. The connecting point amongst them is something I called a gesture. It is exceptional in its simplicity which provides the comprehensibility and opens a wide range of interpretations. It’s based on something really odd and outdated – the faithfulness and honesty of an idea. Nevertheless, the most important thing happens behind the gesture which from time to time adopts the classical art technique. These techniques become the tools in my current palette. If I do use them, it’s always in an ironical and very light form. I am questioning the academic role in its romantic perception. The subject of matter in my art practice deals with the term of systems and how we approach them. How we could enter these systems or leave them and what it brings to us. I am exploring the roles we take over. We are chameleons zigzagging throughout the socio-economic impacts of our own roles. We are doing it by earning money, using social status and background which determines our space for living. To reveal them I often use an autobiographical reflection of my own specific role of an artist who always has a set of tricks prepared under his hat.
