I learned how to understand our world while exploring and discovering the infinite richness of visual experience I was surrounded by. It was mainly the area of ​​graphic design, typography, and new media, that caught my attention at the beginning. I began to feel over time, that the digital art world lacked one of the most fundamental human experiences for me. It was direct physical contact with the work of art.

Visual Spectrum: Abstract Geometry and Optical Art

Visual culture has become a conventional reality of our time, which is represented by images of various kinds. 

My work specializes in abstract geometry and optical art. I explore the visual phenomena of images and how they affect the viewer's eye. Light and movement are key aspects, as they allow me to discover new mesmerizing dimensions and features of the painting. The use of digital media is still an important part of my work. Composing an image in computer programs brings me new creative techniques, which I can, later on, complement traditional art methods. I am well versed in a broad field of art that transcends historical movements and brings contemporary tendencies from an artistic community. In my work, I use the term fragments, which refers to several conceptual levels. Our personal fragmentary memories, knowledge, and experiences, on the basis of which we shape our subjective view of the world are represented in the psychological dimension. We create meaningful images of reality by combining individual fragments into coherent units. From the creative point of view, fragments are represented by elementary forms, which I adapt to a harmonious composition. The parallel with architecture is reflected in the construction procedures that I apply in the preparation and implementation of the work.
