About three years ago objects that appeared in my work became various geometric shapes. I illustrate an abstract world of my subconscious. I see it as an asemic writing, captured automatic thoughts. When I create I go by the specific guidelines that I have established for my work process.
Often in my creative work the same shapes appear but in different proportions and colors that I intuitively choose. Almost every drawing has a cylinder that symbolizes irritating thoughts. Colors play a very important role in my work. I use a specific color pallet which is repeating across my drawings and that way makes them cohesive.
Inspiration for my work comes from observing the surroundings. I am interested in construction sites where there is a lot of action and everything is constantly changing. I have great admiration for director’s Wes Anderson work which is filled with colors and rhythm.
I did have a break from creating and for about one year I did not create anything physical, because I felt drained. Even though I felt bad about not producing anything, the creative process continued through observation mainly by capturing interesting compositions with my phone camera. That year I accumulated a lot of images that now I use as an inspiration for my art.
Some images occur unexpectedly from my subconscious as I go about my day, while others appear just as I sit down to draw, the hands just move by themselves.
I never really know what the final outcome will be, but it is not that important. Some images occur unexpectedly from my subconscious as I go about my day, while others appear just as I sit down to draw, the hands just move by themselves. I am aware that I cannot fully avoid coincidences. They appear unexpectedly and become a part of the process.
When I finished my drawing, I wanted to take a photo of it and as I did, the picture turned out as if there was a leg coming out of the platform. This transformed into a new character that I am working on. When I am finished with a drawing I never fully feel that it is actually finished, so I just keep on creating. That way it continues infinitely until it becomes a series of drawings.
The main tools in my creative process are a ruler, pencil, bright aquarelle and a large format paper. Aquarelle technique requires a lot of patience and accuracy, so the process is quite slow. At the moment I study fine arts, so I have the ability to use the workshops and incorporate etching and silk screen techniques into my work. As the time went on, I felt that the artworks I produced lacked dimension, so I plan to make it more tangible.
