In recent years, I became interested in the concept of the unknown and the paradox hidden in the genre of horror. The space beyond the boundaries of human knowledge is the most exciting source of my inspiration. Everything is strange that we are not able to perceive with our senses, which is different from our usual everyday experience. Not only our environment, but also our inner world is alien to us, as an unknown microcosm forms our bodies. In my opinion, the concept of the unknown is the ambivalence itself, which is both aesthetic and repulsive. My work is permeated by this duality. I mainly paint oil pictures, but I feel comfortable in different forms as well.
