summa cilem  - Modern Artist

Raised between places and cultures i was shaped by movement, emotions, the world within and around me.

​

Dreams of landscapes that felt surreal—almost like dreams you could step into. My early impressions in childhood  continue to echo through everything I create.

Visually and emotionally, my universe draws from the poetic language of New Wave cinema, particularly the dreamlike films of 1970s Czechoslovakia. There are also traces of the theatrical decadence of the Weimar era, as well as the haunting, fairytale-like atmospheres found in East German children’s films worlds that feel both nostalgic and slightly otherworldly.

​

Over the years, I have collaborated with various publications and theaters, exploring performance, image-making, and storytelling across different mediums. Yet at the heart of everything I do lies a desire to create worlds—intimate, cinematic, and slightly surreal—where beauty, emotion, and imagination meet.
