As an artist, I am interested in research and artistic representation of states of altered reality. The source of my inspiration is illusory worlds of dreams and a meditative sense of presence here and now. Intuition also has a great impact on creating artwork. I rely on the processes of a person's inner world, which describe the awareness of experience from events in the external world. The objects in the paintings serve as symbolic images that help reveal the narrative embedded in the artwork. I mostly use oil pastels and wax crayons in my projects.
