The Artist Statement

“I aspire to evoke profound emotions and leave a lasting impact through my art. I explore diverse themes and reveal the nuances of my inner world, fostering a dialogue with viewers. I use large format canvases with oil and acrylic paintings, as well as Leica camera as a brush, to create visually impactful abstract photographs. I also process a documentary photography and architectural design projects, broadening my artistic repertoire and enabling me to tell compelling visual stories in various mediums.”

Bin Bear Series

BIN BEAR SERIES is eco oriented series of works in collaboration with famous photographer, filmaker and activist Karol Kaliský and his son Karol Kaliský junior. Their photographs capturing wildlife in the purest way are the basis for my paintings. Next layer of the painting will be placing animal scene into abstract forest as the communication of misunderstanding or ignorant way of seeing the wildlife as a human. These abstract sturctures will be based on abstract photographs from the Slovak nature which I have been capturing for a years.

 

At this moment I am finishing the fifth painting of the seven. The central piece, The Bear, will be part of the special installation.

 

And of course there will be much more…

During the spring I walked into the woods to capture the essence of the awaking nature by impressionistic style of photography.
