statement

The contemplating  and reflexive character  of my last artworks is an way of distancing oneself from the material and commercialised reality in which we all live. My projects enables the viewers to go on ‘an intergalactic journey’. The act of creating space in which we can re-move ourselves from empty, mass-produced  and useless things in-order to peek at the world from an “intergalactic” space and time perspective, I wholeheartedly consider as an admirable attempt to link the abstract  language of art with scientific language. What is more, I had not only explored the issue in great depth, but also opened it for further discussion.
