What do you make?
I'd like to believe that I'm a storyteller, in my own way, through painting , street intervention, dealing with memories of my own and others and mixing it all with everyday life and stuff I see on the street so in the end to make some kind of story soup :) , full of taste, lots of ingredients and an ancient recepie that goes from generation to generation and being improved all the time.
Nowadays I get all these stories out mainly by painting , on the street and on various surfaces, every time trying to make another chapter of the story, lately my works been dealing alot with past, using lots of references from all around, my friends or pictures I found dating 50-60-70 yrs ag , I also Insert my imagery that developed with my street work thats more dealing with the creation of new race of creatures that combine the predator from the nature with the human to make the so call "considerate predator" that will consume his surroundings only by need and not out of greed. Lots can be said about my work as its been developing over the years and mixing in lots of elements but mainly I said it in the beginning - its a storytelling.
Where else on the web can we find you?
well, I got a flickr account thats linked through http://www.kloneyourself.com and I hope that soon will turn into an actual website, thats when I finally get time to sit down for long enough to concentrate and build it :) .
What did you dream about last night?
Cant remember, I know that my dreams are realy interesting and colourfull but I just never remember them more than few secinds after waking up, just some fragments.
What inspires you?
Well , life basically , everything from seeing art in museum, to street art and graffiti , friends, family and just taking a walk through the cit. About a year ago my ipod earphones got ruined so I didnt bother buying new ones and I realy enjoy being out in the city and getting the whole visuals and sound every day, thats realy inspiring, I take some experiences to my paintings and hope to be able and show the surroundings what I meant.
What is your biggest fear?
Loosing my family and the ability to paint.
