Joker.Beyond reality.

Surrealism has always attracted me: the freedom to move beyond familiar forms, disrupt symmetry, play with space and create a reality of one’s own.

I found particular inspiration in Barcelona and the extraordinary architectural legacy of Antoni Gaudí. His imaginative lines, asymmetrical structures, mosaic and chequerboard patterns, unexpected curves and sculptural forms opened up an entirely different way of seeing architecture.

Once, while attending a flamenco performance in an old Barcelona theatre, I noticed some unusual interior details. Their surreal aesthetic stayed with me so vividly that I later decided to bring some of those impressions into my own space.

That is how Joker came into being: a decorative composition on one wall of my kitchen.

Painting, inlay, gold mirrored elements, spirals, orbits, asymmetrical lines and unexpected combinations of textures transformed an ordinary wall into an artwork in its own right.

What particularly interests me is how such interventions change the very feeling of a space. Familiar walls cease to be merely walls, geometry loses its predictability, and the interior takes on the qualities of a fantastic world in which reality seems to play by different rules.

I love that freedom: the opportunity to abandon conventional ideas of design, break the familiar logic of forms and create a space that becomes an extension of the imagination rather than simply obeying architecture.

It does not matter where such an artistic experiment begins — in a kitchen, a living room, a studio or a vast hall. What matters to me is the idea of transforming the everyday into something extraordinary.

In the future, I imagine an entire living space created in this aesthetic: walls, ceilings, terraces, mirrors, light, imaginative transitions and architectural elements brought together in one surreal composition.

A kind of neo-city, a fantastic universe entered by crossing a threshold. A place where familiar boundaries disappear, where the eye travels endlessly along lines and reflections, and the space itself evokes meditation or a flight of the imagination.

For me, art is not only something we look at but also a world we can live in.
