Memories from my past are based on stories of my parents and relatives. I have no my own
childhood photographs, that is why I am using someone Elses photos in order to construct the
message according to my own concept. Images (photos) became instruments that are
necessary in order to serve the concept of making narrative for the Stolen Memories series. I
paint what I feel, not what I see. It is a pure response to the idea of my own memories. Some
responses are illogical, and I am allowing them to emerge, suspending my critical judgment. In
the context of my childhood, paintings were supposed to mimic subjective experience of events
that happened. Most of the paintings are made as a combination of multiple old polaroid
photographs. It is basically an extension or amplification of the collage approach. I am constantly
fighting with my past; it is an infinite fight with no winners. Freedom is my goal; courage is my ally. The
questions such as “Who I am?” and “What I have become?”. Next to my internal fear of the unknown
makes me wonder where I belong?
