‘Imaging’

For the artist, the image of a face is an excellent medium that reflects emotions and gives an excuse to reflect on universal human features that remain unchanged regardless of time or cultural context. This project is a representation of the silent voice of Women throughout time and history.

Through photographic play - references to painting and non-obvious combinations of styling elements, pop art artifacts with the use of everyday materials and objects, including biodegradable and non-ecological materials - this work explores the idea of humanism as an unchanging value, independent of time and cultural context. The project is always implemented through "objects" - individual photographs in the form of prints, processed and framed. Only contact with this form at the same time complemented by a performative element in the form of the "presence" of models and artists and the completion of the viewer's aesthetic experience in accordance with the concepts of "open work" will constitute the completion of the process. Selected works from this project were shown in a solo exhibition in 2023.

A room with dark paneled walls, large windows showing leafless trees outside, and a large framed portrait of a woman with elaborate hair and clothing hanging on the wall. There is a beige sofa, a wooden armchair with a cushion, a wooden coffee table, a tall vase with dried branches, and a patterned bench in the room.

The works in this project are only available as “paintings/objects" - singular photographs in the form of prints, processed and framed. Each work in this form is signed and will be available in only one copy. The project is open to individual orders.

‘Graphic Portraits’

This is a kind of personality sketch, inspired by one of the simplest and quickest forms of facial and human portraiture in art history. It's a record of short encounters, sometimes a "warm-up" before a main portrait.

This series of graphic portraits stems from a form focused on the emotions and details of portraiture. These intimate shots, resulting from a very spontaneous "capture" of facial detail on the one hand, and a careful collaboration between the photographer and the sitter on the other, result in exceptional shots. The aesthetic concept adopted - black-and-white photography with a uniform, very minimalist styling and the same type of framing - aims to "liberate" the image from all the contexts typical of a classic portrait.

The subsequent images are created in a series. They can be ordered as single frames, as a diptych or in a series of 12 images. Each option is finally made with appropriately selected wood frames and printed on a handmade japanese paper in two dimensions: 10 x 15 and 21 x 30 cm. Larger formats and framing available upon request.

‘Paint-ED’

Playing with the conventions of classical portretuire, weaving the postmodern medium into an aesthetic discussion about how we look, what we see, what we expect, are the incipit of this series.

This portrait project stems from a deep interest in old art, classical portrait painting, and symbolism.
A timeless aesthetic, manifested through close, intimate communication with the subject, and the space of the portrait studio, allows for the recording of the most important details and emotions occurring during the session. Regardless of the frame format - british half-lenght, kit-cat, close-up headshot or silhouette - a neutral space allows for the focus to be on the subject, while for the sitter creates a safe and comfortable space.

The room features a modern sofa with a beige cushion, a wooden lounge chair, a wooden coffee table, a tall brown vase with dried branches, and a large portrait of a bald man in a black suit hanging on the wall.

The works in this project are only available as individual “paintings/objects" - singular photographs in the form of prints, processed and framed. Each work in this form is signed and will be available in only one copy. The project is open to individual orders.

‘Flying Hair Project’

Hair as an expression of beauty, hair as a source of oppression. Structure and form – the two components of a work of art. The face as the center of human communication.

The series of portraits of women that form the subject of the "Flying Hair" project was inspired by the events in Iran in 2017 and the act of civil disobedience by 31-year-old Vida Movahed, who stood on a platform on a Tehran street to pro. Her gesture is one of many images of the #WhiteWednesdays movement, an activism initiated by Masih Alinejad, an lranian journalist, aimed at emancipating women's rights. These protests continued in 2022, following the death of Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini.

Hair is a form of aesthetic, cultural, and political expression and oppression in Euro-Atlantic culture as well. The demands of pop culture and convention also regulate the attitudes of contemporary women. The process of styling, shaping, and extending hair is often an arduous part of everyday life, and occasionally a reason to devalue one's lifestyle and the Zeitgeist, and in another sense, a testament to belonging to the surrounding community.

This series was shown at a solo exhibition “Her/Hair” in 2025.

A minimalist room with light wooden flooring and concrete walls, featuring a large black and white portrait of a woman with elaborate hair on the wall, a cushioned bench with a wooden frame underneath, a small side table, tall windows with decorative trim, and a vase with dried branches near the window.

The works from this series are available as black and white ink prints on baryta paper in large formats: 60 x 100 cm and 100 x 180 cm. The project is currently in the status ‘suspended’ - not open to individual commisions.

‘Re*Figuration’

Redefining identity, opening the meanings of what lies between: mannerism, beauty, as the foundations of a revolution in existence.

Cultural concepts such as "English gentleman," "fluid identity," "dandy," and "queer" were the incipient inspiration for this series of portraits. However, identity issues, although the project falls within the realm of aesthetic exploration among LGBTQ+ individuals, are not its main theme, but rather the broader—historically and conceptually—domain of "queerness" as distinction, inclusivity, uniqueness, and humanistic community. Embracing various identities, balancing the scale of definitions of race, origin, social status, and cultural sources—so compelling for the world of art and artistic bohemia—is one of the motifs of these works.

Inspired by icons and myths of the 19th-century Parisian and London art worlds—Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde (Dorian Grey), George Sand, Andre Gide, Arthur Rimbaud, but also Florentine cherubs and the concept of flamboyant, with semantic references to Gothic architecture. All these sources are interwoven with fashion and the creation of facial image, open to reinterpretation and expansion of meaning.

‘Rodin’s Models’

The body as clay, the sculptor's material for creating art. At the same time, an event, an artist's relationship with a human being, and the reminiscence of Da Vinci's "L'uomo vitruviano" manifesting itself in the cold interior of the atelier.

The "Rodin's Model" project pays tribute to feminine beauty, devotion, perseverance, and admiration for art, while also asking questions about ethics in art and the process of its creation, the clash of 19th and 21 st century morality, the perception of class and economic differences expressed in the world of that time - the Parisian Belle Epoque, the neo-empire, the bourgeoisie, the bohemia, and the working class, but also romanticism, expression, and the emerging awareness of lost time.

The theme of this series of images is encapsulated in the questions "who was Rodin's model?" and "what thoughts and feelings consumed in the process of the long hours of posing in sculptor’s atelier?" lt is also a study of the collaboration, exchange of thoughts, and energy between the artist and his/her/them model during the creation of an art work. In these works one can find ingredients of reflections on sensuality in sacred art. It is also a sculptural study transferred to the photographic medium.

Two framed photographs of a topless woman with a tattoo on her forearm, wearing red skirt, are hung on a light gray wall in a modern room. Beside them are two white lamps and a gray couch with cushions.

The woman has black curly hair, wearing a black and orange patterned dress, and is holding a glass sphere.

‘Double Identity’
