In my latest body of work I see myself as a DJ, an arbiter, however instead of selecting, mixing, and playing music I collect particular objects from the everyday life that have an association with actuality. They include posters, bills, flyers, magazine or newspaper pages, drawings, receipts, and letters just to mention a few. Some of them are strategically altered and then mixed and remixed to create a sort of random diary that at the end becomes my canvas. The images and text superimposed are often taken from popular culture. The combination is not always apparent and provides a straightforward inconclusiveness that leads to a lack of ultimate meaning. The mixture of all these sources creates an ironic and often contradictory interpretation of the high and lows of the everyday life.
