The transparent brushwork, compositional solidity, and controlled color palette make my paintings self-sufficient works of art. The imaginative motifs of envisioned video installations, typically involving some ready-made everyday objects, impart a distinctive signature to the paintings. The paintings evoke the 1980s, with a return to the painterly surface and the pleasure of painting. My works sometimes draw on mythical and literary elements that are intertwined with personal experiences, and the objects depicted in the paintings convey both universal and personal messages. These paintings, which serve as a thematic and morphological prelude to the video installations, become an integral part of the installations upon their realization, thus transcending from illusionistic two-dimensionality to tangible materiality. The painted object, along with the universe in which it exists—the painting—becomes an object in the fullest sense of the word. The reconciliatory approach visible in the coexistence of painting and new media extends to the components of the painting itself, such that in the same installation, we can find old objects alongside contemporary technology.
