OVERVIEW

ARTIST STATEMENT: 

I create my works by connecting daily images that I find in my close environment. The inspiration may come from decorative items that are sold in flea markets or from strange combinations that are randomly gathered on a billboard. I infuse these images with basic shapes, familiar to us from ancient structures. I re-compose them using the syntax of the marketing and commercial language. I create these combinations to unfold the story of reality as I experience it - as a variety of disguised interests co-existing in the public sphere. I aspire to find out what makes the exotic desirable and vice-versa: how the other is perceived and represented. I want to trace the origins of these default images and shapes we are so familiar with, in order to unveil their history as cultural indicators and carriers of ideology. Ultimately, I wish to explore how different public characters have evolved and why eventually they all began to resemble one another, by understanding the mechanism of the lowest common denominator.
