Process, ideas and materiality are the main stands to my practice. Important aspects of my actions relate to the experience as events. Creation of the artist determines the field of activity of customers, whose interactive activities appointing the existence of a work-event. Recipients are  participants, operators, or (co-)creators. Painting/picture it’s visual act outgoing from specific material forms and incoming in relations with  our body, which needs active ,reacting, corresponding, cooperating  environment . Each piece is also becoming a new way of experiencing space, resulting from attempts to understand the environment.

In my realizations I try to show the reciprocity of relations between these elements in relation to reality. Spatial objects which  filters represent the thoughts and impressions. The fabric makes the eye lost in the fleeting mirages. However, in my opinion, of particular importance it is the open nature of the image, that going by him in relations with us. Recognition as an act of visual image helps explain his performativity. I observe  mutually  dependences; interactions with space and results. Ways of perceptions of artwork through the senses- visual experience becomes identical with performative cognition. Penetration  into space.   Works are abstraction-don’t tell story to don’t impose interpretation. They are like “mirrors’’ show  feelings, interpretations resulting from individual experience. In the abstract still fascinates me her focus on the study of the medium  itself, the needs, specific painting, or formal problems such as color, form the image, and even the process of creation. I am seeking own formulas, I like deconstruct, manipulate; give new meanings.
