About this artwork

The paintings in the Cracks from the Past series are the result of an inner process of reconstruction. In this series, I work through memories — both joyful and difficult — that could not be otherwise resolved. Here, creation becomes a tool for interpretation and release.
Each painting begins with a concrete experience, but through a process of layering, deconstruction, and rebuilding, the original story dissolves. What remains is no longer a trace… of the past, but an independent aesthetic presence: something born from the act of remembrance, yet separated from its source.
Cracks from the Past does not document what happened. It is a quiet testimony of inner transformation — the moment when fragmentation gives way to wholeness.

Painting for me is a form of structured yet personal research — a slow unfolding of inner questions, memories, and ideas. I work in series, each one developing around a specific intellectual challenge, following a deliberate and programmatic structure.

Previous series like Cracks in the Past explored the fragmentation of memory, while Ribbon Fabrics reflected on the slow healing of old wounds through layers and textures. My current series, Relations, focuses on how we exist alone, in pairs, in groups — and how these dynamics are expressed through form, rhythm, and space.

Using both drawing and painting, I build compositions where minimalist language meets emotional resonance. I seek not reduction, but clarity — a quiet intensity where balance, contrast, and silence all have their place. For me, each painting is not a statement, but an open question, an invitation into reflection.
