Artist Statement
Technology and its ethical use is an important part of modern society. Ethics in technology means that we must consider the possible consequences of using technology for society, the environment and individual rights and freedoms. For example, using technology to protect privacy and the security of personal data is a key aspect of ethics in the field of information technology.
In addition, it is important to use resources, energy and time in a creative way, directing them to the development and improvement of society and the environment. For example, when designing new technologies, we should strive to create more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment. After all, it is important to remember that our future is not only scientific and technological progress, but also a favorable state of the world around us. Thus, it is important to use technology not only to meet current needs, but also to ensure the sustainable development of our society and the planet as a whole. It is important to make sure that technology is used for creative purposes, contributing to the improvement of people's quality of life and the protection of the environment.

"Puppet"
oil on canvas, 2024
The metaphor of this painting is that the digital world is penetrating deeper into our emotional state and influencing our feelings. The background of the painting fills the space with a sense of virtual reality, where the boundaries between the real and the digital are beginning to blur. The wires, designed as an infinity symbol, seem to sing to us that this connection will continue until we learn to control it. They represent the continuous flow of data and emotions that envelops us, carrying us away into the world of technology, sometimes forgetting about our real selves. We stand at a crossroads, where the choice is ours - either to remain under the power of this eternal flow, or to find harmony by learning to control our inner world.

Technology certainly plays an important role in our lives, making them more convenient and efficient. However, sometimes it can become so dominant that it begins to replace the natural and organic aspects of our lives. It is important to remember the need for balance and ethics in the use of technology. We must respect and preserve the natural habitat, leaving room for birds and other living creatures that are an integral part of our world. The natural wonders and riches of our planet should not become victims of progress and technological advancement. They need our attention and care to continue to delight us with their unique beauty and diversity.
