Inspired by my childhood dreams and further encouraged with my lifelong love for nature and animals, I wanted to create worlds where animals exist as equal characters, as narrators of a modern fairy tale, who share with us the same environment.
By creating peaceful, strange and even humorous situations and twisted animal habitat sceneries which exist somewhere between material world and imagination I want to share my dreamscapes and visions, and offer a visual escape from harsh and often cruel reality.
‘Tale of the Blue Pear’ was inspired by my childhood, but it is also encouraged with experiences and relationships which I experienced though life. It is a journey to imagined parallel worlds which exist with our own. In these worlds other rules apply, animals and humans exist in harmony, fish can fly, animals can talk and many great things can happen. Animals and humans share the same body and surroundings, there is no hierarchy here, and everyone is equal. Although some settings are for example placed in historical interiors, in other scene we can see that these interiors float in outer space. These worlds are not determined by specific time or place, they exist independently and are unique for every viewer. My hope is that the viewer will pause, even for a while, and dive into these worlds, which at the same time connect familiar surroundings and unfamiliar situations.
Although my idea will always be present in the series, I want to encourage viewers to let their imagination form their own conclusions.
The animals in my work are not always animals as we normally know them - they are mostly personified, participate equally in these stories, and have the role of narrator and guider through these surreal worlds. They even show us the animalistic side of human nature. They raise questions about the situations they found themselves in, about the awkward surroundings where they don’t belong.
My works are complex photo collage from photos I've taken over the course of 15 years. It is a long process of combining carefully selected photographs and illustrated parts, which are then transferred to computer and digitally painted.
"I am inspired by my surroundings and I see potential in various everyday things and relations, people, nature, architecture, even food. I see them sometimes as fragments of my work. Most of times they stay just that, fragments, and sometimes they become unified into a whole and therefore start to exist as a part of my sceneries.
By using real life photographs and textures I give my work a feel of realism, although the themes are far from being realistic…"
