I didn't expect that this exhibition will happen, since the coronavirus situation happened.
But because we weren't able to do anything else during lockdown, I was in my atelier focused on painting.
This series was made with an airbrush, which is a new tool and technique for me.
It lets me to work with light, texture, simply with different visual means compared to painting, so it's very interesting for me.
I still use my photography as a reference for the paintings.
In the past, I used to sketch everything precisely on a computer and now I just sketch more loosely from the photo reference,
I draw some basic points, a composition from the photography.
And what follows is a lot of improvisation, random things depending on what catches my interest.
For example some specific light or color.
I have one painting that I created because I noticed that a chair has a pretty red color.
I want to use the pretty red somewhere.
And that was enough of a reason to do it.
Most of the ideas and motives come from everyday life, funny moments, unfinished reconstructions,
the tension between creating a wonderful home, and the options people have.
I take interest in things that people usually try to hide, like cables, boards, things that create the chaos in perfection.
And also the search for coziness, what is home, and how people create it.
