About my artworks:
Studying Medieval Art reveals me the rich and colorful mosaics and mosaic techniques used in the Early Byzantine Art. Seeing Gothic Vitrages showes me the possibility of gathering small pieces making it one whole. From Antonio Gaudi-the genious Spanish artist,I have learned to make wild, free combinations with mosaic- all these helped me to create my own special style.
In my works I adupt the Gestalt Theory :"The whole is more than it's parts",it suggest that understanding a structure as a whole depends on our ability to see all its parts, but the full comprehension will always show us a richer structure than the simple combination of all the parts.
In my works I make a combination of small pieces and the final consequence usually creates a new and rich "whole".
AT first my workswere composed from broken china, glass and a selection of decorative elementscarefully displaced objects. Than I made "COOKIES"- ceramic hand painted shapes baked as homemade cookies. I have combinrd them on several large shpes as star, heart triangle and more.
The "human cookie" appears in various mediums: mosaic sculpture and relief, in big and small formsand in different physical states: imcomlete, bound and brooken. I chose the clay as a basic material because of it's special quality: it is soft at the begining but during the baking process it hardens and gains a new nature - like certain processes that change and harden the inner-self of people.
