I am an analogue artist in a post-digital world*, passionate about objects and technologies that have become obsolete, and the stories and history they have generated. Through my assemblages and installations, using found objects and salvaged materials, I aim to recontextualise the past and bring new perspectives on technology, science and art. Inspired by avant-garde movements such as Dadaism and Brutalism, I experiment with various artistic media: sculpture, assemblage, installation, painting, as well as photography and graphic transfer on wood using craft techniques.
In my art practice, I explore the interplay between old and new, subtly playing with perception and creating works that resemble puzzles with multiple possible solutions. I have therefore developed a series entitled ‚Possible Objects‘, in which each piece resembles a book in a library, using the same alphabet and letters but telling a completely different story.
In addition, while each of my pieces – be it an assemblage, an installation or a collage of objects – tells its own story, combining several works in a Dadaist manner results in a larger narrative that tells a completely different story.
*An era in which digital technologies have become so ubiquitous and integrated into everyday life that the distinction between digital and analogue or traditional is no longer relevant or meaningful.
