A cell is an elementary unit found in every living organism and serving as part of its viability. There is no life, functioning, reproduction or development without a cell. Cells form a system of interconnected elements. Each cell, which is part of the system, creates around itself a comfortable envelope in order to protect itself from the chaos. Each cell gets its name, finds its place in the common coordinate system, time and space of the today’s world. The cell is a constrained space.

Presented works and the use of the 2D design for the suggested platitude emphasize ironic, absurd and superficial character, the intensity of modern kaleidoscopic offers, a homogeneity where space, depth, perspective, layers are obsolete and construction, squares, cells try to protect themselves from existing chaos through creation of a specific visual order.

Separate works use a different scale for a description of a colorful background that is associated with the relevant topic. Every square contains sharp graphic signs, contrasting figures, silhouettes, inscriptions and the names, which all contribute to the creation of the united regulated game boards. The viewers can only formally consider these images to be named paintings.
