"My primary sources came from various Public Domain archives or other collections. I spend a lot of time searching through pictures about events that somehow spark interest in my consciousness.

I am fascinated by the concept of the archive itself. It seems that archives are the raw material for creating historical narratives, non-linear sources, which are scattered around with no particular order.

Every morning once we start the day, we start intaking visual information from our cell phones and laptops, then we go out to the street. Images, images, images, an endless number of images every day. And we don't really get to choose the alternative of not seeing. There is no choice like that. So we experience a loss of meaning.

When transmitted to painting, the parts of initial photos transform themselves into a new existence. So it is an act of transformation, an act of change and motion."
