Artist statement

I create metaphysical collages to explore how visual symbols influence our inner world, our thoughts, memories, desires, and beliefs. Each work is composed of hundreds or thousands of fragments, carefully arranged into symbolic systems that act as portals, inviting reflection and inner transformation.

My practice is rooted in philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics. Born in former Königsberg, I grew up surrounded by landscapes deeply connected to Immanuel Kant. The places and paths associated with him influenced my imagination long before I consciously encountered his philosophy. His distinction between the visible world and the noumenal, a reality beyond immediate perception, later became profoundly connected to my own artistic practice.

While Kant provides a philosophical framework for my exploration of the visible and invisible, Carl Jung’s ideas of archetypes and the unconscious inform my symbolic language. Embedded within the visual structure, these archetypal forms create a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious and invite the viewer to discover personal associations and meanings.

This philosophy is embodied in my patented technique, Pieces Art, which uses fragments of recycled glossy magazines and printed media. Images removed from their original context acquire a new existence and become part of a new visual language. For me, sustainability is not only material, but conceptual. It begins with how we perceive, transform, and give new value to what already exists.

My works explore transformation, renewal, and the human search for meaning. Rather than offering fixed interpretations, they create spaces where symbols can be encountered intuitively and where the visible becomes a gateway to something deeper.
