ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My art is a “Little America”.
Through the art, I make my research of the world around me and communicate with it.
My installations combine elements of photography and painting to deliver the desired message via an interdisciplinary approach.
A crucial element of my work is information infused into creative context, thereby creating deep imagery. Symbolism, passion, freedom and self-identification are the codes of my art.
Each artwork becomes a metaphor that allows the viewer to always find something different in it, according to their own “reading”.
