Art, society and technology. And their entanglements.
That’s is my main focus.

Blue, Pink and Red was created as a combination of analogue and digital process.
Each specimen was originally made with acrylic paint on paper. Subsequently, using Photoshop, the final form was obtained with minimal modification.
The process of transformation from original to modified and reproduced final print indicates new methods and tools that are integrated in artistic practice.

However, although the work was finally performed and reproduced by digital media, the individual trace and gesture of the artist were not absent. Also, the artist exploits the potential of digital printing, which opens up the possibility of rapid, massive and inexpensive production. Therefore, the work focuses on the issues of artwork and its reproduction in the contemporary world but represents a particular subversion of the traditional art system.
