I am a visual artist, graphic designer, and photographer based in Surrey, UK. I work with both digital and analogue photography, using digital tools to enhance the intended mood and message. However, there is no room for AI in my toolbox.
The elements that influence my projects stem from personal experience – living abroad, growing up behind the Iron Curtain, my Eastern European background, and my cultural leanings. I’m inspired by both literature and visual art – the dreamlike narratives of Murakami, Bruno Schulz, and Kafka, as well as the masters of magical realism.
Visually, my aesthetic is shaped by the surreal visions of René Magritte, Rodney Smith, Hans Bellmer, Tadeusz Kantor, and probably countless others I’m not even consciously aware of.
As you can see, most of my photographs are monochrome – often out of focus, layered with motion blur, or created through multiple exposures. I like that they speak in metaphors, rather than sharp-edged statements.
