"The main subject of my work is light and air, and their interaction in different forms and phenomena. I like to mix different realities (actuality and dreaming, past and future, visibility and essence etc.). I like to find wonders in an everyday occurrence.
As illustrator I work more with context than with text because I find it isn’t necessary to explain the text just read, but it is far more interesting to look for what is beyond the frame.
More than likely I'm a magic realist".
