Artistic creation
In my work I try to disrupt the integrity of closed systems. For this purpose, I use the technique of so-called visual homonyms, which allows me to combine things with a related appearance but a different function or meaning. I systematically deal with the topic of hybridization and mixing of organic forms with artificially developed forms. I deal with sculpture, installation, building and intervention in public space. The topics I deal with are sexuality, love, ecology, with a setting in the context of the present. However, I do not prefer any rules in my work, so I follow the interaction that can occur anywhere and anytime.
