Lollipop
My work is mostly conceptual and symbolic and reflects inner observations, presented through fantasy stories. On the other side, it also shows a path to some distant part of ourselves, the one of a child, which sometimes is unfortunately very much forgotten.
With their presence, animals bring harmony and raise environmental awareness, but also open a door to the universe which we cannot see in reality.
By creating strange situations and twisted animal sceneries which exist somewhere between material world and imagination I want to offer a visual escape from harsh and often cruel reality.
