Artist Statement
Through meticulous hand embroidery on a canvas, I explore the profound themes of existentialism and the inner psyche of a country at war. My artworks, devoid of frames, confront the viewer with a blend of stark graphic elements and emotive colors, weaving a narrative steeped in melancholy and mysticism. I employ natural motifs and ancient symbols, alongside the raw expressiveness of anatomy, to craft a modernday tale that provokes introspection and a search for deeper meaning. My choice of hand embroidery, a meticulous and timehonored technique, harkens back to times when such craft was the only means of illustrating narratives before the advent of the printing press. The textile becomes a document, recording a state of being. This juxtaposition elevates the piece to a conversation between life and death, peace and war, preservation and decay. I invite viewers into my fairytale, a modern narrative that asks them to look beyond the surface and explore the existential threads that bind us all. The artwork becomes a silent oracle, speaking of the fragility of life and the beauty that can be found even in its end.
