The artist herself explains: „All my constructions and illusions which are parts of my works are based on phenomena made by human beings, for example, metal structures, machines, factory buildings, or even usual phone cables. Their simplicity and geometry of form have unique features of unlimited space. On the grounds of many pieces of work, I constructed my vision of linear perception of reality, which seems to be endless. It is particularly noticeable in the pursuit to discover new shades of black and grey, which give a unique character to every of my work. My penchant for industrialism was born when I met pieces of art by Russian avant-garde constructivists. Thanks to my subtle references to their output, in my works one can find endless excitement of discovering new forms. My creative process is based on longstanding observations and analysis of the reality. Lines themselves and multidimensional planes have majestic symbolism, which creates a trailblazing tool for every artist. Using many different experiments in techniques and forms of my works I struggled with many questions. They allowed me to think about geometry in my works, particularly about creating brand new dimensions by adding different contrasts and light.”
