What I do

artist statement

The strange and the fantastical are two elements that characterize the entirety of my artistic thought. The distortion and ugliness often observed in my work reflect the aggression of people, which I believe is reinforced as a hidden reality and a strong ideological tendency by the conservatism of the modern family and religion

Paper, as the primary material in my work, serves as the canvas of early childhood drawings, and due to its fragility, it is inextricably linked with the temporary. The vulnerability of the material intertwines fragility with the ephemeral. With this, I create constructions, installations, drawings, collages, and urban projects from digital prints.

In my work, which consists of a variety of mediums (pencil drawings, constructions, sculptures, installations, digital prints, videos, etc.), I comment on issues regarding the formation of our identity, the ongoing effort to transform and reconstitute our image, the alteration and fluidity of time and things, the redefinition of the concepts of the indestructible, the eternal, and authority, our encounter with the “other,” the paradox and the timeless illusion of love, and the search for meaning in a world that is mutable and ephemeral. I also summarize concepts concerning our relationship with history, often using the past as a reference point for formulating a contemporary narrative.

I always seek liberation from the limited expectations of the “old world” and dream of a renaissance of human thought guided by human senses and impulses. Given humanity’s inability to attain absolute knowledge, as there are no objective truths, nor can we predict or fully control the future and the complexity of time, I believe that our knowledge and experience are subjective and consciously constructed.
