I am interested in the reflect of the current society, cultural and economic contrasts even sharper in a big city as London. Great masses of people and at the same time the human
loneliness. The sons of the great metropolis alienated by consumerism and beauty.

Space
The subject of my work is 'space', or I should rather say lack of it. While living in London I experienced that people around me and myself are struggling with finding their private, intimate space. We live in a constant rush surrounded by strangers, finding a minute for yourself, or a peaceful space is almost impossible. On the streets in the shops in the tube we are 'thrown' in to crowds of random people... I started to express my feelings through my linocuts, I chose this medium because of its fleshiness, because of its flexibility and sculptural quality, my figures are in a state of despair trying to escape confined spaces. I tried to express the struggle that's created by lack of intimacy combined with vulnerability and exposure of those bodies.

My practice is inspired by my obsession of collecting words. Part of it is related to the way people read books and to what they decide to keep from them, which forms their 'collection of knowledge'. The other part looks at what can be collected under the title 'collection'.

Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.
