The Manifesto
Wandering through other worlds, I did create my own — in graphic sheets and white simple poems.
And even if there is a strange disembodiedness in these works — but have you never had the feeling that your own skin is not quite “I” and, even in this sense, we are guests.
Apparently, the world is not totally black or white. But I imagined it that way and, having slightly shifted the foundations of existence, having created a small Universe, I try to make my World accessible and interesting.

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