My studio is a physical place. Just as physical as my work.
While studying materials on moving artists' studios beyond the physical studio, I should note my relationship with social networks. Without being able to show my work, Instagram and YouTube became an important platform for me.
It's like a gallery in which there are always spectators.
They don’t see the work physically, which is extremely necessary for my work, so I realized that the digital world is only a copy and a dummy of the physical.
The influence of this digital world does not directly influence my physical works. I involve it only when I consciously create a video work or photo composition. Working with physical materials (wood, plywood, cardboard, paper, etc.) I live a moment with these objects, interact with them and do not think about how these works will look or be presented in digital format.
But if I present a new art on social networks, I think through the presentation, the message, the text - just like I would do for a gallery. Thanks to such a opportunity, I communicate with the viewer and discuss problems that interest me. Probably due to this, I don’t have a relationship of great value to my works, because I showed them, my emotion was delivered to the viewer, so I can do something further. But this does not mean that my artworks are not valuable to me, they are! Just after presentation, I rework and adapt them further and further... Such a constantly evolving novel.
