In the artist’s own words;

“Watching, observing and listening the daily life environment, forms, sounds, surfaces of objects is the most inspirational thing for me. Every day I can see a world made from glass all around me. Small details of objects in my imagination create aesthetic visions which after all transforms into glass shapes. One of the visions are very bright and strong, those come very fast. Others are constructed step by step which after all shape itself into transparent, glossy material. Thereafter, form which is being created, goes in confrontation with me and time. One art piece could be created instantaneously, but other ideas need to take time. A proper period of time to wait until it will be born”
