ARTIST STATEMENT

​
My artistic work lies at the intersection of psychological research and art. Studying psychology allows me to better understand myself, my psychological states, and the cause-and-effect relationships between the psyche and bodily manifestations. I explore the complexity of the mental constitution of the individual, cognitive errors, psychosomatic manifestations, and the process of building resilience. My artistic activity is threaded with the question of responsibility; I study the mechanisms of shifting responsibility and the consequences of this process.

The goal of my research is to find the true path in the ambivalence and conflicts of this world. I ask myself the question: how to create powerful meanings to pass through pain and suffering without illusions and self-deception.
