"I work with horror aesthetics, or rather with the reproduction of horror aesthetics of computer games or films and the transfer of a macabre pattern into the field of art, the creation of physical artifacts. In other words, flirting with abstract art, transferring biological horror textures, surreal half-formed forms of Max Ernst, the entropy inherent in the work of Zdzislaw Beksinski.
My practice is based on the papier-mâché technique I invented. This technique allows you to make realistic textured objects, sculptures and explore decay.
I explore the chthonic chambers of the underworlds, where ancient gods disintegrate and rot to the state of oil. My work describes the decay of the surrounding world due to changes in human perception through the clip-like nature of consciousness and scrolling or simply the surrounding dilapidation of things. During my studies in photography, I explored macrophotography with various still lifes, with clearly expressed elements of decay. Or I made series recording daily changes in the rotting of different fruits".
