Exploring diversity and continuity, material and visual transformations

Three-dimensional objectified images made by recycling waste materials_ Biodiversity and ecopsychology_ The relationship between contemporary art, applied design and the environmental protection_

The future relies on the concepts of recycling, reuse, revaluation and reappraisal, as the importance of environmental protection in our urbanised world has also spilled over into art. There is no design thinking, no mentality, no applied art without a conscious commitment to environmental protection. At the same time, the over-supply of consumer products and the surplus and waste generated by the habits of consumer society can sometimes provide a great starting point and idea for the creation of a work of art.

I have always been a constructive person. In my design mentality as well as in my conceptual experiments, whether they are about exploring the interplay between science and different artistic disciplines, or the structural design of physically superimposed surfaces. I am caught up in tasks and challenges where the concept, the ideological message, is an important part of the visual harmony, where there is room to balance the visual world by extending out of the plane into space. I am very excited by the creative possibilities for visualisation where we can create spatial graphic, plastic illustrative elements by stepping out of the plane. In my conceptual creative experiments I focus on the exploration of diversity (even from an ecological perspective) and continuity, material and visual transformations. These works can even be called experimental reflections, experimental searches for confirmation, which can safely be considered my personal responses to our natural environment and human-made objects.

For years, I have been collecting products that inspire me, interesting to me, and for others, completely worthless scraps. I use, transform, reuse and reinterpret them with a new approach and a new linguistic structure, creating a completely new work of art that can give new meaning to materials that are meant to be thrown away. In one of these series (408 // series, 2020), I have used the leftover "scraps" of forms from fibreboard, with some transformation, which are now worthless and useless to others. The blue colour shows hope through the pronounced elements of the white painted fibreboard, while in front of it an artificial, environmentally harmful material, surface, plexiglass, protects and partially reveals the former natural material behind.
