About projects


“Love less or more” - it's critique to contemporary consumer society with its propulsive mechanisms such as cinematography and advertisement industry .
“Intimate portrait” - is an attempt  to specify the identity. Type of underwear worn by us is part of the cultural construction of gender. Underwear - like no other piece of clothing - is marked by a body directly communing with him.
“Naked truth” - generation of self-portrait in the context of change, developments in the contemporary world.; the lost and desperate attempt to communicate with others, eventually finding the proximity.
“ Looking for aura” - is inspired by the thought of Walter Benjamin, German philosopher and theorist of culture, a groundbreaker in analyzing the mass aspect of culture.  I tries to find an answer for a question: 'What happens to this aura(The term comes from Walter Benjamin's essay: 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'. According to Benjamin artworks lose their 'aura', and what is interesting, he finds the process positive, while I am not so sure...), does it vanish without the original artifact? Does it matter at all?
“Venus now” a cycle of posters, shows characters pasted from the Old Masters’ paintings, put together with slogans like “Nobody loves me”, “I have bulimia”, “I need botox” refers to very key issues in our lives: love and death.
I work in various media, I like to combine artistic say. I appreciate the work of many artists, as close to me especially like Helen Chadwick she frequently chose to represent herself in her  work, in part to question and confront conventional ideas about the human body, gender, and sexuality
Project which I currently working  on will be a part of intimate autobiographic. It will talk about the carnality, the transformation  and complexity of experiences and emotions.

"I like the idea of head detaching or even most of the body parts, which can be undoubtedly interpreted as a post-feministic womanish legs fetishism critique by contemporary consumer society with it’s propulsive mechanisms such as cinematography and advertisement industry, but itself remains visually attractive. 
  Very interesting series “Girls Toys”, from impersonal but still body, through composing clothes covered by carnal film, to peripheral requisites in respect of it’s carnal center. 
Narration is so quaint, it was built with paintings titles ( just imagine how much can you figure yourself…) 
Body fragmentation through advertisements, fetishism of this fragment, impersonality and values obliteration, painted with sweetmeat – lollipop colors,
It’s all very post – modernistic and absolutely interesting"
