Materials tell my story

Abstract

My work deals with images that are present around us in many forms, such as photographs, prints, magazines or newspaper. Each and every image has its own significance related to it and carry a story. These images grab my attention and intrigue me to manipulate and play with them in a way that not even a single image becomes recognizable but on the other hand image on paper as material does not loose its identity.

My inspiration is the world, which I experience around me and how I see it each day. My work contains layers, textures, and movement created through paper, which is an important thing in my work. Working with such materials allows me to make interesting forms that I pick from my surroundings and then produce them in my own imagined way.
