Artist Statement
In my work, I explore the relationship between intense mental states and the serene observer—two aspects of the human experience that are seldom considered interconnected. Through integral philosophy and spiritual practices, I have analyzed my own anxieties and transformed deep states into complex, abstract images.
The foundation of my artistic language lies in three-dimensional geometric constructions — symbols of thoughts, contradictions, and interpretations, suspended in the material and spatial nature of the medium. To achieve ultimate precision of form and emphasize the materiality of the objects, I incorporate 3D modeling into the sketching process.
I work with painting and sculpture, confronting contrasting materials. On canvas, this takes the form of layered painting, deep black pours, and soft airbrush gradients. In sculpture — smooth plastic, metal, matte textures, and glossy automotive enamels. These choices express not only the tension between void and form, but also merge them into a unified perceptual experience. I carefully apply the principle of repetitiveness, creating a minimalist and hypnotic structure.
I began with graffiti — an art form that breaks boundaries. Today, I dismantle the boundaries of consciousness, the lines between self and spirit. My art is a practice of attention — a way to capture the present in its unconditional beauty. My objects reflect not only inner, individual experience but also the collective, cultural layer of contemporary life.
In an era of information overload, fragmented thinking, and heightened anxiety, my work offers an experience of pure contemplation. It reminds us: everything that happens — love, joy, nuclear war or broken dreams — is merely a construction of the ego. And this realization is not an escape from life, but a return to it — with total presence and freedom.
