As an artist, I must be aware of the illusive borders between art and life, art and society, as well as art and activism. Formalisation of my position in contemporary society is connected with constant questioning of myself and my role as an artist. My aim is to break the conventional taboos and depoliticise the situation and bring attention to the humanity of people.
Cizmic predominantly uses oil paint on primed paper. The surface of primed paper is very smooth offering more control over his brush strokes. 'Memories of the loud silence' will feature a collection of new paintings.
