“My work revolves around the process of painting itself. The themes are fed by the search for the possibilities of the medium, and the motifs come from my life and work environment. ⁠
⁠
For example, I paint the working material, i.e. the colour mass (miniature landscapes modelled from oil paints, which are then, enlarged many times, hyper-realistically painted again with oil on canvas), my studio and the exhibition spaces, or I work playfully with the simplest painterly gesture, the brushstroke itself. “⁠
