« In a painting, the one moment of first visual contact counts. This moment must lead to an inner explosion. »

"My work is an investigation into the boundary between creation and decay. In a world that increasingly demands structure, I use abstraction to depict the uncontrollable."

The process often begins with large, intuitive layers of color that create atmospheric depth and emotional weight. Over this foundation, I lay a network of fine, highly dynamic lines. These fragments act as visual anchors—they represent the human striving for order within a chaotic space.

For me, a work is complete when the tension between the tranquility of its depths and the nervousness of its surface reaches a fragile equilibrium. I don't want to confront the viewer with a ready-made answer, but rather open a space where feeling takes precedence over understanding. My art is not a depiction of reality, but a cartography of the inner self.
