My work explores uneasy emotions that I experience through the immediacy of drawings and filling in the colours. The figures that appear in my drawings have the qualities of fictional characters seen in comics. I use black inks, oil pastels, and paints for drawings, and sometimes turn them into moving images so that it brings an immersive experience of encounters – like in a situation when bumping into another friends and people. 

I find inspiration from my everyday encounters especially the very personal and comparatively trivial moments – those awkward seconds, be it in the spur of the moment that the evil intertwines the good in the self and the roaring silence in which I need to progress regardless with a smile. I understand these intense emotions as a phenomenon constantly shifting and ambiguous, that encompasses multi-layers of emotions such as uneasiness, loneliness, shame, and solemness.

Frankness and humour are important aspects of my works. As I allow reality and fiction to overlap, we perceive the situation as surreal when in fact they are real. Therefore the figures in my work appear in odd ways with an elongated neck, melted hands, and cheeky smiles.

These fictional characters take on the role of a third person while claiming potential by never concluding their narratives. They become active agents from an empathic response from viewers and open new understanding of better self and a place confirming the uniqueness of the I and the other.
