HER
Title: SHE Dimensions: 140x100 cm Medium: Steel plate Materials: Ferrite magnets, acrylic paint Year of Creation: 2024 This work from the Magnetic series was created using approximately 7,500 ferrite magnets. Each magnet was first painted by the artist and then arranged to form an image of a woman. The Magnetic series was born from the artist’s fascination with magnetism and the potential inherent in this extraordinary force. A magnet offers the possibility of endless manipulation – although it is permanently attached to the surface, it can still be moved. In this way, the artist challenges the concept of permanence and immutability traditionally associated with works of art, such as oil paintings, which are meant to endure for centuries in their unchanged form. The subtle intervention in the arrangement of the individual magnets allows for direct interaction with the artwork and the artist’s creative process. It also raises the question: how much do we want to intervene in something that has already been created? The work can also be displayed behind glass.

LOOK
In a world where the boundary between reality and the digital image is increasingly blurred, the installation "Look" encourages the viewer to look at the world through the lens of their phone. The steel sculpture, covered with a thousand magnets, hides two faces – that of a woman and a man – which come together in an unexpected way, creating one unified yet diverse view of contemporary life. The two halves of the face – one in shades of blue, the other in brown – can symbolize the simultaneous existence of the digital and real worlds. Through the phone’s camera, the image gains clarity and becomes sharper, reminding us how deeply our perception of the world today is shaped by technology. Can we truly see clearly what surrounds us without devices? Does technology add depth, or does it obscure the true face of reality? The viewer decides whether they perceive this symbiosis between technology and life as something positive or unsettling. The presence of the phone is essential to reveal the full image – symbolizing how contemporary life requires constant connection to the digital world in order to understand what is around us.
