Between 2014–2019, my paintings’ main character was a nude female figure wearing a helmet, which I expressed repeatedly, embedded in different contexts.

The helmet is a personal object and closure. It is mask-like skull-shaped, which includes many possibilities of association. Paired with the naked figure, we see a paradoxical result. Concepts such as portrait – non-portrait, adult – child, freedom – confinement, mechanical – human, alienation, vulnerability, female identity, vanitas, living or dead can surface, enhanced by displaying different personal spaces.

I was influenced by, among others, Alex Katz, Michaël Borremans, Peter Greenaway, Caspar David Friedrich, Jacques-Louis David, Édouard Manet, Giorgio de Chirico, Mark Rothko, London School, Cluj School, etc.
