“My works reflect the current state of consumer culture, my own poetic soaring and their intersection with technologies. Life here and now provokes me and drives me to rethink and raise new questions. Through my imaginative paintings, photographs and installations on the topic of ecology, I create a unique, neo-aesthetic way of speaking with the viewer.”
