My work is mainly influenced by the natural environment, exploring the similarities between natural elements and the human body. Sometimes I study the microcosm through a stereoscope, while at other times I try to get closer to nature through various practices that activate my senses. In this way, I get a better understanding of my place in the environment in which I live. Through my artistic practice, I experiment with different materials and techniques by combining natural, recycled and non-toxic materials to reduce the carbon footprint I leave as an artist.Another aspect that plays a significant role in my work is the process as I am searching for non-toxic materials to avoid the synthetic ones. For example, for the preparation of a painting surface, I use a mixture of cornstarch, baking soda, PVA glue and water instead of Gesso. Small practices like this might not be visible in the final work; however, they are crucial for the meaning of my work. The final work is often an installation composed of mixed media objects and drawings in the space. My desire is to create a place for the viewer to explore, connect, imagine and create.
