Series of works entitled “Impoderabilia” is made in an intaglio technique. Graphics are various, in a series are both - figurative and abstract works. Through the multiplication and synthesis of figuratives scenes I achieve a transition into unreal matters. Places, events and people that are close to me inspire and provoke the emotions and feelings. I try to study these fleeting moments and make them real, change them into shapes and structures.
