• “Art is cynical, it shows the negativity of the world, it’s the first condemnation.”

• “For me ideas aren‘t up in the sky and materials down in the earth. Materials have a spirit that is evoked by the physical presence, which can be accessed and opened up.”

• “For me, art is the only possibility to establish a connection between things that make no sense and those that have a meaning.”

• “I will dig tunnels in the garden, put the drawings in to bury them. You can see something bigger in Baljac . I will buld a small house with bricks in the building. People think the ruins are some The end of things, but for me, they are the beginning. When you have ruins, you can start again.”
