a. "Invisible routes"

The work is an art action in a public place that attempts to capture interactively the random courses of the passers and visualize their routes as drawings on the ground.The ground is transformed into a painting canvas in a continuous erase-redraw action performed by the random footsteps of the passers. The footsteps are stamped on the ground and remain visible for a short time, creating invisible routes into the city environment. After a while, the footsteps disappear and are replaced by new ones. The physical action – movement of the passers creates the artwork and gives it its final form.

Performance and video

b. "Lightboxes"

The works are mixed media (digital printing and painting in transparent material) and are mounted on a flat luminous base. I am interested in the use of light as a plastic medium through its interaction with various drawing and painting materials (acrylic and ink colors), optical media (colored gels, diffuser, etc.) and digital printing. The theme focuses on the interaction between the human figures and the city environment.
