HUMAN ENCOUNTERS
The series "Human Encounters" immerses deep into something incomprehensible that stands beyond the human.
The creatures in the paintings inhabit their own world, and my inner world at the same time. While working on this series, I explored ancestral memory and delved into the depths of centuries, entering into a dialogue with the visual heritage of medieval miniatures and 16th-century tombstones.
