The poetic landscape is a state of thought. The place has always been a relevant starting point for the artistic process for me. Places and place experiences are meeting places and incubators of thoughts that bring about changes in the nature of my artistic work. There is a time present in a place that is always in motion and a space that consists of existence and moments. Both are present at the same time. I enjoy the spacious and flowing experience of the place, but equally I marvel at the power of its rugged aesthetic charm on the edge of the wasteland. Sometimes an excursion or a journey brings a collective place experience.

The shared place experience is created by the bubbling waterfall, the heavy steps of the sinking swamp and the feeling of breathing freedom at the top of the mountain.
We have each experienced the moments brought by the place experiences described above. In this context, my assumption is based on the identifiable idea of a return to nature and the significance of a genuine experience.
In addition to place, the catalog of my works includes droplet, ruler, sound, earth, air, and water. The trace of the drawing leads to the landscape and the roughness of the mezzotinto to the conditions of the trace and the water.
I sensed that I was reaching for some parts of the spirit of the place and bringing them present through my own experience. From time to time I reach for something eternal and permanent. But my experience is always in motion, and it does not have a permanent character.
