The Manifesto
In my opinion, all people have to create their own world, but not everybody is able to do it. Wandering in other worlds, I created my own in graphic sheets and white simple poems.
And let there be a strange feeling of unreality in the works, but have you never had the feeling that something is outside of you under your skin, and we are guests owrselves in any sense.
The world is hardly all black or completely white. Still, I imagined it as such and, mixing the elements of reality, creating a small universe, I try to make my world accessible and interesting for everyone.

Artist Statement
In simple things and images many meanings and symbols are hidden. I find them from the chaos of spots on everything that surrounds me and transmit them on paper.
