Artist Statement
AFTER BRILLO
“You begin with the possibilities of material—Robert Rauschenberg
I'm fascinated by art history mainly dada & pop art. I explore relationship between found objects, existing art and old photographs. I create 3D collages, mini sculptures and take photographs of them. It is very important for me to use dizzying range of colors, shapes & textures. I’m interested in creating humor, conflict and puzzling spectators. My art is continues examination on pop art & dada even though results are surreal and visually unsettling.
