I am a visual and digital artist, researching computer graphics technologies in my practice. I am interested in various media of creation, especially photography, graphic design, video, and audio-visual projections. In my work, I explore the interrelationships between visual images and sound. I combine photos, video, and digital textures into the final visual works. Most of my visual images come from looking at a dystopian future that reflects the real-world situation.
is this the reality that we want to live in
time is an illusion made by humans
the end is nearer than we think
the fragments of space and time
Fragments of space and time
Solo exhibition at JallaJalla/ July, 2022
We live in the illusion of an utopian present that is turning into a dystopian past. We are not aware of our transience. We evaluated it in terms of time to make it easier to understand. Our essence is arrogance. We think that everything revolves around us and that the image of the universe is made according to man. However, our end of time is drawing nearer. When our downfall becomes more real, which is completely insignificant, then we will be aware of our transience.

My professional career led me to graphic and video design. I am currently employed as a creative graphic artist at the company PRO PLUS, where I create visual content for shows of in-house production of the POP TV program (Slovenia got Talent, Your Face Sounds Familiar, Štartaj Slovenija). I often intertwine my career with my interest in art.
