My work consists mainly of collages. I put different<br />
kind of pictures <strong>and</strong> techniques<br />
together, traditional <strong>and</strong> new methods. In<br />
this work I use pictures clipped from newspapers,<br />
photo editing, digital printing <strong>and</strong><br />
quilting.<br />
Philosophical societal attitude is a typical aspect<br />
in the works. My main aim is to ponder on<br />
the relationship between surface <strong>and</strong> depth.<br />
The topics that interest me include humanity<br />
<strong>and</strong> being human in surrounded time, global<br />
situations <strong>and</strong> media reality.<br />
