I tell stories from unknown worlds that may not be far away from our world. They are not perfect, but maybe we can learn something from them. Something that we will bring to our reality. And maybe that other world is just a few steps away and we cannot see it.

I am fascinated by doors, gates and passages. It is as if they are inviting you to take a peek and walk through them to the other side. To me, they are a symbol of change and transformation. This theme often appears in my work, especially in my first novel, Symbolion and City without Stars. In this book, the red door is a gateway between two dimensions – between the world in the City and the parallel world of Symbolion, which is full of mysteries, and where the true meaning of things is yet to be discovered. Moving between two worlds is also easy in my upcoming children’s fantasy called The Magic Gift and the Secret of the Tree Guardians. In this book, the little witch lives simultaneously in both the Magic World and in the world of humans. All you have to do is say a magic spell, draw a door with chalk on the wall and suddenly you are somewhere else.

Drawing and painting is my great passion. I opened a new studio called New Factory, where I for some time taught the method of drawing with the right cerebral hemisphere. I no longer give classes, but the joy of drawing has not left me. I also made few sketches for Symbolion, so I am looking forward to finishing a few drawings and collages for the novel in the future. I like to make collages the most. I combine different techniques and finish the collage with an acrylic marker. It is not easy to put the images and visions that emerge in my meditations into a specific form, so a collages is an ideal means of expressing them. 

In fact, everything I create comes from my meditations and lucid dreams. They give me the motivation to discover new possibilities, improve my perception of reality, and they help me understand the context and to accept the inevitable. They also give me the strength to move on. I use the Symbolic Appearance Therapy technique to decipher the symbols. I used this technique when I was writing Symbolion too. You can read how the novel was created and why I wrote it here. 

Black and white photography has a completely different atmosphere than colour photography. It has depth from which seem to emerge the thing that is essential. Hybrid photography then gives me the possibility to emphasize the intention and show a different point of view. Sometimes I just walk in the city or in the countryside and take pictures of whatever interests me. I look for light and composition to create an atmosphere. I don’t always succeed and then I must start over again. Without atmosphere there is no life. Or at least not life as we know it. But if you manage to create an atmosphere, then everything you create comes to life. I think this is the goal of all creation and I try to accomplish that.

I also love autumn fogs, storms, waterfalls, David Bowie and pannacotta. I like people who are insightful, have a sense of humour, and have an understanding for exaggeration. Fortunately, my partner, my family and closest friends with whom I allow myself to be fragile are like this. We are constantly learning from each other. I enjoy getting to know and learn new things and I look for inspiration in them. I am an early bird and I write best in the early mornings. At night I prefer to paint. When I paint, I need tea and ginger biscuits, and when I write, I need coffee and a cigarette. This is how I am.
