The work of Voldemār merges his interests in visuality, sound and science. It explores the perception and nature of experience in both visible and audible domains. Thus, Voldemār creates experimental projects that synthesize art, science and technology, to explore diverse phenomena. He represents the experience through environments assembled from the visual, acoustic and spatial structures. Voldemār is one of the Balkan artists invited to participate in Incurably Curious Residencies in 2020-2022, promoted by NTIL.
