" I am interested in social dynamics. I think that the artist as individual has a responsibility toward society. And this responsibility regards communication, transparency, and being critical with oneself. Freedom in art creation is a fact. It is also a fact that as part of a living and growing community we need to be receptive with our neighbours. My interest in creating art is to underline social habits and dynamics, old and new traditions, cultural patterns, the effect of new technologies on our everyday life. I mostly like to work with narrative and linear structures. I think that one of the functions of art is to establish bridges and links between concepts and ideas not connected before. Art is one non-violent way to change History because it operates on collective imagination. Originality is distinction."
