Artist's Statement    
 

I practice painting and graphics, and presently work with linocut. In my works I try to connect the Middle Ages with contemporary topics: monks with laptops, kings with hamburgers, technology, work, free time, etc. In my work is a special place for humor and irony that is connected with everyday life.
