DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
​
​
In my drawings dream is an essential element of composition and style. Dreams are mysterious, they are fragments, they don't follow a straight narrative. There is no obvious logic to them. My drawings combine different angles and perspectives sometimes crossing each other and symbols and persons I don't know about. I'm not aware of their purpose – only having a foreboding. Dreams are poetry and I try to rebuild their powerful aesthetical effects in drawing.
