In my painting I am guided by intuition. I paint this what is close to me at this moment.
Because my life experiences are deciding about the subject of my images, long process of painting
is a very intimate action for me. The contact with the surface of a painting this is my personal journey
into the psyche and subconsciousness. I present excerpts from my daily life, in which are included different symbolic meanings.I talk about transience. The point of reference in my art creation is the human and his existence, mainly intimate areas of our lives. I am inspired by the human body, daily rituals, experiences, gestures and faces.
