Statement
My work reflects my joint vision as both an architect and an artist, as well as my love for geometrical abstraction. Mathematics is a constant source of inspiration, but not a goal per se. The aesthetic and playful aspects of my artwork are always the final criteria. I am delighted when people with no mathematical background or supposedly allergic to it are sensitive to my art. Lately I have been inspired by such famous irrational numbers as Phi, Pi and the square root of 2, which cost so much work to generations of mathematicians. As a tribute to their discoveries and calculations, I imagined representations of the decimals of these numbers in 2D colored puzzles or 3D architectural models.
