My approach to painting centres around objects. I select seemingly insignificant objects from my environment. Re-scaled and abstracted, they may seem marked by trauma or associations growing from a political or intimate past.

The choice of an object of interest usually reveals my – subconscious, most likely – desire to address socially-involved themes, and allow one to give them vent phantasmatically.

Aware of the shortcomings associated with the medium of painting and problematic effect of the power of art, I dream on a romantic dream of an artist, about the possibility to involve your product into the current discourse.

For me, painting is there where it is needed. In my everyday surroundings – especially in these insignificant, petty objects, ornaments, shapes, colours, textures, glitters – I recognise concealed, disguised or unconsciously borrowed attributes of power, violence, patriarchy. I try to reveal these objects somehow. I want these insignificant objects, not operating as fixed symbols previously, to gain meaning.
