About the Artwork

The technique of execution in the series “Untimely” can already be considered a metaphor for the formation of common memory. It arose from the act of destruction, and consists in the deliberate aging of the canvas – created craquelure. Yes, collective memory relates to the past, but is formed in the present through the processes of constructing certain interpretations, the rooting of artificially outdated images.
