Statement:

I usually base my illustration works on a sketch with a fine-tipped pen, transferred with the help of a tablet into the reality of a graphic program. I care about not losing the unique handwritten character of the drawings. I also create works immediately on the computer. I approach them as when I'm painting on canvas - I build a composition with message out of colors and spots. The color that determines the emotions associated with the reception of works is particularly important to me. My computer graphics have a surreal style and sometimes also humorous character with a drop of anxiety.
