Without craftsmanship inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind
J. Brahms
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
My artistic practice is centered around the human figure, which I treat both as a tool in my attempt to understand the world and as a means of creating a dialogue with the viewer. In my work, I combine classical approach to technique with elements of contemporary aesthetics, creating images that oscillate between realism, symbolism and expressionism.
The starting point of my practice is fascination with the painterly tradition of the Old Masters, as well as with the craftsmanship inherent in artistic labor. I strongly believe - following Johannes Brahms - that without craftsmanship, inspiration is merely a reed shaken by the wind. For me, technique is not only a skill but a mode of thinking: a way of constructing meaning through form, color and line.
I draw inspiration from the human body, seeking to merge inherited knowledge with a contemporary visual language. My references range from direct observation of nature to photography and film. I am particularly drawn to the use of contrast - both visual and conceptual. In my work, I often juxtapose opposites: sensuality and unease, beauty and distortion, aesthetics and kitsch, harmony and chaos, subtlety and brutality.
A recurring and essential motif in my practice is the gaze, understood as both an encounter and a confrontation. In this sense, the painted portrait ceases to be merely a record of physical appearance and becomes instead a carrier of elusive meaning and a site of ethical tension.
I primarily work in oil painting, drawing, and printmaking, with a focus on intaglio techniques. The repetition of motifs and the variability of prints function for me as a method of investigating the relationship between form, color, and meaning.
