Tribal art, surrealism, symbolism, pop and graffiti art are my possible inspirational starting blocks. I am in search of the perfect balance among black and white rendition, geometry, colors, association and meaning. I pay a lot of attention to composition and always try to tell a story which can be both personal or political. Decorating with style to a particular aesthetical effect is not enough." The themes vary immensely: work can be inspired by political topics, maps and territorial perceptions, tribal figures revisited, shamans and symbols or an inner journey in the unconscious world. Recently I have cherished a lot works that resemble to sculpted paintings, where I use a plank of polystyrene to sink certain figurines, or shapes, tunnels, glass shards and shells. the overall impression is a three-dimension artwork which offers extra stimuli and possibilities. The role of artists is to impersonate the spirit of the time they live in but also digging down in their mind, unconscious and soul and bring up what is their true spirit and uniqueness. Very often, the artist has also a duty to protest or to convey a political message, although that hasn't forcibly got to become a permanent feature. Another duty of the artist is being honest and avoid any manipulation by the market.
