"THE ESSENCE OF MY WORK IS WORKING WITH A FIGURE AND ITS SUBSEQUENT FRAGMENTATION. FAITH AND HIDING THE SYMBOL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MY THINKING. I SEE SYMBOLS AS A POSSIBILITY OF COMMUNICATING MULTIPLE THOUGHT PROCESSES IN ONE TANGIBLE WHOLE.

IN MY WORK, I TRY TO WORK WITH THE CONTOUR LINES OF MY SCULPTURES, WHICH I PERCEIVE AS A GUIDE FOR THE SPECTATOR'S EYE. FOCUSING ON CONTOUR LINES AND SILHOUETTES I REALIZED THAT I WAS BEGINNING TO SEE THE BODY AS A HUMAN LANDSCAPE. LANDSCAPE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF NATURE. I WOULD LIKEN THE FIGURE TO TREES, THE BRANCHES ARE THE HANDS OF THE TREES. THE ROOTS ARE FIRMLY CONNECTED TO THE GROUND JUST LIKE THE FEET WALKING ON THE GROUND. I SPEND A LOT OF TIME OBSERVING NATURE AND TRYING TO DISCOVER CONNECTIONS. THE VIEWS IN THE LANDSCAPE ARE UNIQUE AND UNREPEATED, JUST LIKE THE FIGURE. THE VIEW WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

THE FIGURE ALSO HAS LAWS THAT ARE FIRMLY GIVEN BY NATURE. I ALSO FIND THESE LAWS IN ARCHITECTURE. ARCHITECTURE IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO MY WORK, I SEE IT AS A RECORD OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND HUMAN EVOLUTION. I WORK WITH THE BASIC ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS AND THEIR DECORATION - MANICES, COLUMNS, CAPITALS. I SEE PLASTER COLUMNS AS A SOLITARY AND FULL-VALUE MATTER. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FULFILL A SUPPORT FUNCTION, I APPROACH THESE COLUMNS THE SAME AS THE FIGURE.

I TRY TO CONNECT SOLID SCULPTURAL FOUNDATIONS WITH INTERNAL FEELINGS, JOYS AND PASSIONS AND EXPERIENCE MYSELF THROUGH BASED SCULPTURE CRAFT AND KNOWLEDGE OF TECHNOLOGY. EVERYTHING I EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE, THAT SURROUNDS ME, IS THE SUBJECT FOR MY WORK. THOUGHTFULNESS AND CONSIDERATION ALTERNATES INTUITIOUSNESS BORDERING ON PSYCHIC AUTOMATISM."
