In my creative work, I use a variety of imaging techniques, mainly those related to printmaking, focusing especially on conceptual aspects. I explore the limits of the graphic matrix and the print, the possibilities of their transformation and positioning on unconventional substrates. I combine classical printmaking with modern creative measures such as installation, performance and body art. At exhibitions, I present ephemeral prints accompanied by the matrices from which they have been created.
