What inspires you?

For me, inspiration is not a result of an activity, its a life-long process. Life inspires me and everything that it has to offer. People who make me notice new shapes, forms, angles and build upon it inspire me. Success and failure, pain and joy, love and hate, life in all its manifestations inspire me.

Describe your creative process.

First, a phrase simmers in my head, I let the object live in my thoughts, in my brain. I reflect a lot, almost meditate about the object and try to understand what is it that I am trying to create. After all my thoughts and ideas settle I create 3D visualizations.

What are 3 words that best describe your work?

Resistance, aspiration/pursuit, tension

Who are some artists that have influenced your work?

People of different professions and from different spheres impact me every day. For instance, Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hungarian film-maker Béla Tarr, American fashion designer Rick Owens, and Brazilian photographer Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado.

What is the most important tool when creating your work?

Music

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Strangely, I almost never get advice from people. Probably most of people in my closest network know that I do not like unsolicited advice. The best lesson in life for me are my actions and the actions of people around me. Spoken words can sometimes be misinterpreted and misunderstood.

Where do you go for inspiration?

Sometimes, when I desperately lack beauty and inspiration in my surroundings, I watch arthouse movies or travel to a country where I can visit a museum of modern art.
