In my artistic practice, I mainly focus on painting. For me, the image represents a dynamic field that can function as a language to express various phenomena, which I typically capture in abstract and/or metaphorical forms. I often focus 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 ambiguity of motifs.
