The themes of my art are interconnected, through my works I establish a connection between the past and the present, which, in turn, allows me to form a vision of the future, giving importance to the conceptual ideological basis․

Contemporary themes should be clear to the artist in order to make the intersection of different times in the present․ However, art does not show people what to do, but works of art with their content-artistic solutions can connect you with your senses, body, and mind. It can make the world feel better with the themes created by the artist. And here the content and the artistic feeling can stimulate thinking, involvement and even action.

Every time I talk about inspiration, often art comes to the fore and I start asking questions myself ․․․

What is it about art that makes us think creatively or feel inspired?

Why is art capable of causing a change of perspective? What does it mean to work or create or, in some cases, live?

On the one hand, our daily lives and lifestyles put us in a dialogue where I use the rules of freedom and break free from strict constraints․ The imaginary concept of art seems to be created from a place where only art can come out and the work of art itself comes from a place far from reality.

For creative inspiration, we often turn to art, because it represents pure ideas and stories that are born not only from the materials and thoughts or memory of the artist but also thanks to the imagination, works of art can reach seemingly infinity, "everything can be art."

For inspiration, I go to art because it allows me to travel elsewhere, to direct my concept into something I have never seen before, and that approach, through experience, confronts me in a different way of perceiving the connection between me and art.

For the past 15 years, I have traveled to many countries around the world and participated in various art residencies. I realized that I could stand in front of a global art audience or exchange ideas with artists and discuss building a work of art or an exhibition in the local area the next day. Creating as an artist, real-world communication outside of the virtual realm has given me many perspectives and introduced me to models of truly different perceptions, with a vast array of ideas and knowledge. Participating in local and global art processes has profoundly influenced my artwork, be it graphics, traditional painting, installation, or video art, forcing me to create art that I hope will define the perception of our time everywhere and create a discourse for people.

Often the impact of art on us is small, it is a seed, but after being influenced by it, it spreads and becomes something that can raise questions and has a great impact on the mind of each individual. Art challenges come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but generally involve the artist's commitment to complete a range of work over a period of time. An art challenge can be a great way for any artist to hone their skills, shape the mass of their work, and can even be quite a social activity.

For me, as a creator, it is not just creating. Even if it is imaginary, which we can meet in my works, the creator must analyze and try to create the challenges of the modern world through his prism, not only the material world but also the world of ideas, which dominates the material world, the dreams we have and live together.

Through works of art, I try to allow ourselves to temporarily change our perceptions and perspectives to see ourselves and face an alternative or rapidly changing reality.

Art encourages us to cherish intuition, uncertainty, and creativity and to constantly look for new ideas. The artists aim to break the rules and find unusual ways to approach modern problems.
