About this artwork
In Be(Have) However, I explore the fragile intersection between being and behaving—between authentic emotion and learned response. Through layered gestures in pencil, acrylic, and oil pastel, the painting navigates an internal landscape where restraint and spontaneity collide. Scribbled forms and soft bursts of color drift across the canvas like passing thoughts, unresolved and unapologetic.
The title plays on dualities: to be, to behave, and to… be however—a call to embrace contradiction and emotional unpredictability. This work is a visual meditation on the subtle negotiations between instinct and adaptation, vulnerability and self-control. It invites viewers to reflect on how we perform our inner worlds—quietly, chaotically, or however we need to.
Freedom is the central core of my painting. I understand it not as the absence of rules, but as the ability to question one's own imprints, habitual thinking, and social value systems. My works invite viewers to allow the unfamiliar and to momentarily detach from what feels secure or deeply ingrained. I draw inspiration from neuroscience and from the exploration of urban structures and mentalities. I am interested in how perception is shaped by cultural and social contexts. The painting process itself is an act of freedom. By relinquishing strict control, intuitive decisions, layering, and ruptures create open pictorial spaces that resist fixed meanings. My works invite a sensory, embodied experience of freedom that opens curiosity and new perspectives.
