About works / performance

Main interest is the exploration of visual language. Operating with basic graphic elements, color combinations, letters and shapes. Testing the limits of its intelligibility. Creating and discovering new meanings of known objects by using them in a different context or in a unusual way. Creation of double images, visual illusions by using and combining two or more symbols into one image.
