I am a visual artist and a writer. My field of interest is focused on the idea of unity and the ways to explore it, since I consider the human being as one of the greatest expressions of the universe, through which it is experiencing itself and its
endless possibilities of creativity. 

As a documentary video maker, I believe that everything is a material, and that it is always only a matter of framing. Working with the mixture of the sound, image and the text, through my artworks, I’m trying to build a space, which can become a trigger for  the personal insights and self-conversations.

Areas of interest: Mythology, Occultism, Sacred plants

What inspires you as an artist? The awake moments, and the idea of living in endless Now
