From the first personal exhibition to the present, the theme and stylistics of his works have gradually defined themselves over time, encompassing landmarks related to history, collective and individual memory. Many of the motifs addressed by the artist are found in oppressively hermetic indoor spaces, subterranean realms whose architecture and content are characterized by anachronism. His works allow us to observe the depths of evocative sites, where nebulous images from the history of Eastern Europe envelop the viewer with unparalleled force. The image of the detonated bomb, like an undermining of the historical narrative, reveals feelings of anxiety and vulnerability, deeply buried in the collective consciousness.
For clarifications regarding the bidding procedure, hammer price costs, guarantee, payment, and collection terms for the winning lot, we recommend carefully reading/re-reading the Bidding Regulations.
