ABOUT
Ich mache Kunst, weil ich das Leben liebe und alles staunend betrachte, erlebe und erforsche. Vom kleinsten Staubkorn bis zum unendlichen Universum. Unsere schönsten, strahlenden Seiten und dunklen Schatten. Ich reflektiere, setze mich mit interessanten Fragen und meinen Überzeugungen auseinander, hinterfrage bestehende Paradigmen und vermittle meine wichtigsten Werte.
Art is the perfect medium for me to share my ideas. Our thoughts, believes, feelings and the way we look at things effect the experiences in our lives. In my artwork I reflect and aim to convey this.
I am a mixed-media artist living and working in Berne, Switzerland. I was born and grew up in the canton of Valais in Switzerland in a small mountain village. Apart from being Swiss I am of Macedonian origin. A fascinating country and culture that also influences my work.
I work with images taken from magazines, the internet, postcards, leaflets, stamps, personal photographs and other printed paper. In manipulating the appropriated imagery by cutting, erasing, adding or removing elements in combination with other techniques, I create compositions that contain their own significations and messages. The techniques I mainly use in my artworks are collage and assemblage in combination with drawing, painting or linocut.
Often, I draw inspiration from an interesting quote, a story or an intriguing concept I read about. Elements, colors and titles all carry a meaning resulting in a final conceptual work.
