Artist Statment 

Through light and color  i intend to depict  an anthropocentric environment which is researched and created and in  that way it would stimulate the perceptive capacity of the subject. In its turn the subject  recognizes via the sight  materiality equally to the physical anti-fatigue capacity of the senses. Matter and body merge in search of self-awareness and mutual communication.
