O mnie:
W swojej twórczości podążam za uczuciami, ale uczucia mają dla mnie charakter poznawczy: pomagają mi zaglądać pod podszewkę rzeczywistości, eksplorować tereny zbiorowej i jednostkowej podświadomości, balansować na granicy tego, co widzialne i niewidzialne. Najczęstszym tematem moich obrazów jest przyroda. Nie badam jednak samej natury, ale moje związki z naturą, zapośredniczone nieuchronnie przez formy kultury. Dlatego nieodłącznym elementem moich poszukiwań są symbole i rytuały, baśnie i mity, pogańskie tradycje i pradawne wierzenia. Jestem skrajną relatywistką – w tym sensie, że skupiam się na relacjach, wypatruję ukrytych połączeń między zdarzeniami, myślami i istotami. Nie jestem przy tym obiektywną obserwatorką, a jedynie częścią tej rozłożystej, dynamicznej i splątanej sieci, którą rozciągam, luzuję i czasem przekształcam, rozbudowuję, choćby dodając swoje prace jako kolejne jej węzły. Szukam w tej sieci swojego miejsca i jednocześnie próbuję zdawać sobie sprawę z przebiegu poszukiwań.
My work is a means of following and investigating my feelings. These feelings are in turn cognitive tools, which aid me in peering beneath the veil of reality and exploring the realms of the collective and individual subconscious, right on the verge of what is seen and what remains hidden. The main subject of my works is nature, yet it is not nature itself that is being investigated – the object of focus are my personal relations with the natural world, as well as the influence of culture, society and human civilization on said relations. That is why symbols, rituals, myths, fairytales, pagan traditions and ancient beliefs remain the inherent elements of my research. I consider myself an extreme relativist and solipsist – I fixate on the hidden connections between beings, events and ideas, how they intermingle and influence one another. I am not an objective, distant observer, but a small, yet central part in this vast, tangled and dynamic network, which I then stretch and bend, reshape and expand – each painting or project forms a new node in the web. The nodes act as vantage points; they are my attempts to make this web my home, to carve out a place for myself in this complex world.
