What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? Actually, I am thinking about creating a new artistic style, still abstract, but different from what I have done so far. I can’t fully describe it, which is exactly why it thrills me; it lives inside of me, more as a feeling rather than a plan.…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? Lately, I've become increasingly interested in exploring the relationship between realism and abstraction, and particularly the delicate balance between control and spontaneity. My paintings often begin in a fairly controlled manner, with careful attention to form, proportion and detail. But as the work progresses, I find…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? I am exploring Reality vs Unreality. What truly is real, what is the truth, even if it looks "fantastic" or "unnatural"/supernatural, as I am a poet I sink in meaning, and what means most to me is the soul, the feelings, the crudeness of humanity, that…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? Lately, I have been really focused on how light interacts with heavy texture on the canvas. I work mostly with palette knives and thick impasto, and right now I am experimenting with layering colors in a way that feels almost like sculpting rather than just painting.…

It is an intricate and meditative process, where every single dot requires time, patience, attention, and a certain state of mind. For me, this technique is more than just a way of…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? I am exploring how a painting can hold abstract story and flowers without telling one fixed story. In my recent paintings, bright colors and loose marks meet dark space. I let the image move between a flower we can recognize and something more abstract. What excites…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? I am currently exploring intertwined bodies and the moment when a painted mark becomes a presence. Figures lean into one another, share their weight, or become difficult to separate. I am interested in how the same embrace can suggest care, desire, dependence or restraint. I bring…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? In the modern world there is so much to do, so many roles, expectations and things we feel we have to do. Layer by layer, they cover up who we really are and we get used to living on autopilot, often leaving little room to actually…

What are you currently exploring in your artistic practice that excites you the most? I’m exploring how far I can trust the moment. As an architect I plan, measure and control. As a painter I do the opposite: no concept, no sketch, the painting grows out of the act of painting itself. What excites me most is the instant when…
