Human subject has been influencing my practice since the very beginning. In my early paintings I have been depicting mental portraits of . I thought through their mental portraits as I painted physical features. To this day, my work is an exposure of a character, though recently their stories are told in other mediums than painting.

As a protagonist of my work I often use a loner, who struggles to exist in a society, where they could not find a place. Both a fictional character and a viewer could be loners. Therefore, a viewer too could be the main character in a setup environment of isolation.
Why does loneliness interest me? I believe the state of eternal ache is familiar to all of us. At times of discomfort, we either adapt to it, by changing something within or resist by justifying ourselves in a global contest. In both cases, our consciousness changes. I attempt to turn the most private of all experiences into an event that could be shared through an interaction. Despite the dramatic nature of my work, the majority of people find comedy in them.
Building experiences to be shared by different people has always been interesting to me. Dystopian literature had the biggest influence

Building experiences to be shared by different people has always been interesting to me. Dystopian literature had the biggest influence
on my way of thinking during adolescence and remains a powerful source of inspiration today. The nature of social behaviour, namely humanity's ability to adapt or resist massive obstacles fascinates me. I am interested in the structure behind public consciousness that consists of a plurality of individuals.
Radicalism and its manifestations are other important sources of inspiration for me. In my projects, I research how humans express dominance, arrogance as ignoring points of view other than their own.
Throughout my practice, I have always been using various media. When starting a project I first focus on a concept alone without figuring out technical aspects. As the project is about to be produced I pick a medium that communicates best. Technology and the ways humans relate to it are especially interesting to me.
In the end, any work I make should invite viewers to interact with it. Perhaps, successful cooperation between a viewer and the message I sent is the most important for my work.
