“I was born in Kaliningrad and grew up moving around the country and Europe. The changing reality around me required new forms of adaptation each time. The first such way was childhood collecting - my own archive. The exploration of reality moved into my artistic practice: I conceptualize the world around me in social and existential themes, and capture it through metaphors and symbols. Interacting with the attributes and templates of past culture allows me to find its labels in the present. I am interested in the space in which today's society is formed, how it affects the individual and vice versa. The techniques of topoanalysis help me in understanding the phenomenon of space. As an author I work in the field of visual art, my main medium is hand printing. It is important for me to remain open and sincere, to speak to the viewer in a visually poetic, metaphorical language.”
