The 20th century was characterised by a rich development of theoretical
reflection and performing practice in the field of art. The inherent lack of
limits of the area and its criteria arouses doubts among many artists and
audiences. In my drawings I attempt to return to the classically simple
formula of artistic expression that refers to the historical styles of
Baroque and Gothic Art, and one that, in my opinion, may move contemporary
audiences. In my works I often refer to the subject of the Last Judgment. I
am influenced by writing - theological, biblical texts, fantasy writing -
and even by science fiction films. Although my works refer to biblical
themes, I don't consider myself a religious artist. The kind of artwork that
is typical of religious art seems to me rather churchy and schematic.
Christian subjects are very close to me, but my work isn't restricted to
them exclusively.
