Artist statement

Atopos is a mixed media project which occurred during November 2023, as part of the U.N.A.G.E. Iasi international residency programme. Continuing the mixed media approach I had adopted in previous residencies (in 2022 in KuBa:Kulturbahnhof in Germany and in 2019 at the Old School Residency in Bulgaria) I explored themes of emotional ineffability, dislocation, alienation and fragmentation. I worked on several mediums at the same time, creating experimental cut-out drawings, monotype etchings and paintings, with the aim of creating a collage – installation.
