ELIS Land scape CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW confusion, another depression and illness into my life. I was also struggling with eating disorders and body dysmorphia. And then in 2018 spontaneously collage happened where i started deconstructing images and bodies, and it slowly changed my mentality towards myself. I guess using my own body and my personal life moments in art is kind of therapeutic adventure for me, even if at the moment of creation i dont realize it. But by learning to trust my intuition and processes, i’ve developed a strong desire to share with the world a piece of my vulnerability and intimacy and visual diaries. Before i used art to show emotional instability, low self esteem and things that bother me which i didnt know how to describe with words and didnt have therapist to talk to, so art was the only escape, or death. I overcame many addictions and depressions in the past, and that made me realize how amazing our bodies and minds are. I began to learn psychology, philosophy, anatomy, sciences, to understand the world and myself. I can finally say with confidence that i’m very cool person. These days i continue to use myself in art projects and performances, but i dont play a victim anymore, on a contrary i set an example how a person can be and survive and live and ask questions instead of blindly following the crowd and so called leaders. These days i talk a lot about death and pain, because i think these are quite important themes in every person’s life. And instead of experiencing fear or discomfort towards these ideas, i want to convey harmony and balance through acceptance, and it doesnt mean that i’m not going through troubles myself. I’m learning together with the audience.
