My inspiration comes from the experience of being a mother. I have been fascinated with the scientific discoveries on the DNA chain as well as revolutionary contemporary debates on human evolution. The scientific term "Eve's DNA refers to 223 genes that humans inherit only through the mother's line. It is these particular genes that distinguish us from other species. In my creative journey I research the questions of our beginning and our existing, emphasizing the important and absolutely unique role of women that in my view are the most sophisticated software of all.
I come form the vibrant Balkan Peninsula, a rural area with strong traditional views on life values, family and the roles of women in the community. Women are expected to be good housewives, mothers and workers, juggling all three roles in a male – oriented society. For generations, these heroines have been fulfilling their roles even through the turbulent times of wars and revolutions; quietly, they were accumulating their strength and passing it on to granddaughters. Thus becoming a feminist artist was a natural progression for me.
National and cultural identities are essential part of every individual. I feel as a mother and an artist, responsible in attempt to celebrate and appreciate the differences, that all of us are unique in our own way but that also, all of us are the same, a human being
I feel that the contemporary world is in an imbalance between nature and industrial technology and so I use clay as one of the most archival natural materials to carry modern, hi-tech visual elements. Combining the two I create a harmony in the art piece that would metaphysically relate to the issue of finding a harmony in today's world.
I work primarily in clay because it is the most expressive and receptive material – both primitive and raw yet perfectly sensitive to the most sophisticated touch of the fingers. I find that receptiveness remarkable.
