The isolated objects of my pictorial compositions echo the happenings and events from my home and everyday environment, which is the source of inspiration for my paintings. I avoid any idealization or romanticization and keep the painted objects in the earthly sphere. This is how I reveal the hidden and least talked about places of everyday life. The monotonous moments, painted with great effort, converge in my works into one pictorial idea through which the fragility, temporality, and inevitable decay are reflected.
