"In my work, I use an airbrush, which allows me to create smooth tonal transitions and subtle contours, as well as sharp, almost surgically "cut" edges, giving the images visual depth and multi-layeredness, contrasted with an aesthetic effect reminiscent of advertising banners, GIFs, and filters that fill contemporary reality. Through this specific painting method, I seek to capture fleeting moments of life and emotions, emphasizing their significance and universality. As a result, the emerging images can become not only an expression of personal experiences but also an invitation to a deeper analysis of contemporary realities and the human condition."
