PROJECTS

Les fleurs du mal


A series of works tells about fantastic worlds where flowers and plants are strange, filled with cold light, geometric or, conversely, semi-abstract. I deliberately deprive the flora of the usual attractiveness and seductiveness, giving the images of flowers reason. It is them who become an active persona, sometimes the main character, causing both anxiety and curiosity, admiration and disgust.

The works are emphatically theatrical and resemble multi-layered scenery, in the center of which the narrative picture unfolds without an approved script. I strive to cause the viewer, on the one hand, a feeling of observation of what is happening, on the other hand, unnaturalness and distortedness. The depicted space exists according to its own laws, the action itself is impossible to predict. I emphasize the variability of what is happening, the ambiguity of things. I wonder how people perceive their surroundings and how they adapt. I wonder if the world changes depending on the view of the person who is looking at it.


Farm I-V

A series of 5 works depicting modern mills and distillers. Symbolizing the adaptation of a person, it reminds us of how they adapt, inventing things that transform a wild product into a consumable product.


Red Book plants


The works present a modern interpretation of floral still life, where the background is replaced by an endless horizon, through which the familiar outlines of plants begin to appear. Some of them are quite recognizable, and some are deliberately abstract. Deprived of their usual form, they seem to be something alien, having their own character, being free from our ideas about them.

The name of the series "Red Book plants" refers not only to the color of plants, but also reminds us of the fragility and what may disappear - somewhere the cores disappeared in the flowers, and somewhere they seem to have been left without the top cover layer.


Turn to Stone

The "Turn to Stone" project is a series of paintings in which I experiment with the images of familiar landscapes, while taking away the flow of live energy inherent in nature: all events seem to be outside the pictured, nothing is happening, time has stopped and only the frozen horizon remains to be observed.


I propose to look at the ecosystem I have created in which organic forms interact, some of which are quite recognizable, some are deliberately flat and abstract. Combining the familiar and the unknown, the real and the imaginary, I strive to bring everything into an artificially created harmony.


The starting point is the images of stones and minerals placed in non-existent spaces: interacting with each other, they form a frozen composition in which everything happens in a certain order. Turned into a stone, you need to stop, freeze and watch.
