Artist statement
"Experiences have been stored in a person since birth. I do not know where and how and what result it will have. My work reflects what is stored somewhere in the depth of soul. I do not produce what I can see around me only. I cannot create without impulses. I always start from an inner movement and a need but, paradoxically, I never know exactly what will be the result and everything that has preceded it."
I do not seek the inspiration on the surface of things but in what is hidden under the surface, inside the shape, what is not seen by naked eye, but a man senses through emotions, feelings and heart. Rather than the surface, I am interested in the relationship between two subjects / objects, between colours, between various shapes, relations in nature, relations between cultures, between light and darkness, between good and evil, between man and God.
I want to look inside the shape, see its inner life, enjoy its mysteries, which are hidden under the surface. The glass art usually follows lines of a sculpture and curves of an art work. Simply speaking, it focuses on the surface/ballast of the created work. However, I am interested in what is hidden inside. That is why I sandblast the glass shapes through and cut them, I open their surface to look inside.
It is essential for me to create the work by myself if the technology permits it.
I have to be directly at its creation; simply speaking, I have to cut it, glue it, crack it, sandblast it and blow it in the furnace.
Each object is created as an autonomous piece with the use of the technique of glass shaping on the blowpipe in the glass foundry, by mould melted glass casting, grinding, sandblasting and chemical polishing.
