ARTIST VOICE 

The main focus of my artistic practice lies upon multi sensorial, corporeal interaction with the environment through my artwork. I am interested in initiating an intimate, poetic and empathetic relationship between the human and non-human bodies, and apprehending  differences and similarity between us. I work interdisciplinary connecting often the medium of sound, video, sculptural objects, installations, drawing, and performative gestures. I’m convinced that we, inhabitants of this Planet, are a part of a huge symbiotic system carrying all of the organic creations of flora and fauna embedded in their bodies, that have a capacity to express them in endless creative forms of art. And in this way everything we are is an intrinsic part of nature, from cell to gesture, or word.
