It is always difficult for me to write about my art works since I do not
feel natural when I do it; and it is much more interesting to me to create
new pieces. Creation for me is a journey in search for the answers to the
questions raised for the day. The themes and materials vary greatly. I apply
various techniques that I learned over several years in various courses.
It is especially interesting to play with various materials such as textile, clay,
metal, Styrofoam, stone, wrap, etc. Materials create certain associations,
and mood. I want my pieces “to speak” and “to touch” the observer. I
want them to be amazing and to speak to the observers silently or aloud.
My works relate about certain states, moments or long lasting search for
an answer to a question. They are based on various themes, starting with
a woman’s wish to cut herself free from stereotypes, everyday life, to
distance herself from worldly goods. longing for a deeper, fuller, healthier
life is a door to the new quality. When you feel exhausted, tired, depressed,
bewildered, dissatisfied with yourself, then you feel afraid, hesitate, feel
lack of inspiration and joy and fullness of life. Then you are continuously
nervous and cannot find the solution and seek for revival that you need.
you then feel weak and helpless, and you feel that you give your creative
powers to others, that you do not trust yourself and suffer from undue
shyness, that you cannot renew yourself and recover from never-ending
everyday work. but your other side is a healthy, lively, energetic woman who
has her own territory, is inventive, loyal, funny and agile. When separated
from her nature, a woman weakens and reduces. (“A Moment”)
When we want to refresh our souls, we meditate, explore our dreams and
start creating. When we try to be ourselves, we become unacceptable
to many others, and when we try to please others and to meet their
requirements, we have to renounce ourselves. It is therefore important
to realize the difference between what attracts and tempts us and what
our souls actually long for.
The essence of the art work “Talk to me” lies in misunderstanding, fear
to tell our thoughts which make us doubt, and which, as it later proves to
be true, have long been waited for by somebody. What matters, is timely
utterance of words which, if uttered later, may seem to be meaningless;
whereas timely words may heal and strengthen a person.
“Therapeutics” is about the bonds between a human and nature. Nature
fills us with vital forces, strengthens us, purifies, heals and renews us. It
is a mutual relation and harmony between a human and nature. Nature
helps us and nourishes us, it provides us with all its goods, and all we have
to do is to accept it properly. My pieces are like my children – they are all
different, each of them has its own character and face, and each of them
lives its own life.
