Statement
In recent years I have been looking for a social, cultural, communal narrative in my work, which I could embody in practice through the means of creating jewelry. I think that the language of contemporary art is universal enough, so jewelry technologies and materials are just a medium for me to achieve a creative goal, and at the same time allow me to talk about the essence of contemporary jewelry from a cross-disciplinary point of view. By combining the tools and methods of creating traditional jewelry with the interdisciplinary principles of contemporary creation, I do not limit myself to jewelry as an element of body decoration – instead, I create installations using spatial thinking. In my work, jewelry objects are often created by analyzing a theme and disseminating it in sequential steps that form a series.The chronology is not consistent, often jewelry objects are redesigned in the process until it acquires the scale of a single series, which is still left unfinished, meaning, it can be constantly continued. Perennial filling the topic allows me to change meanings and contexts. In my works of recent years, I single out four directions/topics with which I develop a further creative strategy:
Scale in jewelry. The relationship of jewelry/object to body and space.
Enamel art objects. Simulations of physical object compositions.
Ready-made. Destruction and harmony.
Jewelry as a medium in contemporary culture.
In my oeuvre, I seek to reveal not the expression of the image of jewelry as material value, but another contemporary quality of this field of fine art. I seek to deepen the understanding of jewelry and the importance of perception. I seek to provoke the viewer by combining precious and all other less expensive materials, maintaining the basis of aesthetic, philosophical, and sensitive social significance, which plays a valuable role here and turns the viewer to look at himself. On the principle of a mirror, there is nowhere to hide. In it, you see yourself and the world at the same time. Not having the opportunity to stay on the sidelines, but having the opportunity to understand what adorns us all.
