About this artwork
The Summer of 1997 emerged from two separate conversations about a first kiss. I interviewed two people independently and asked them to recall the moment as precisely as possible — the light, the music, the season, the nervousness, the touch.
Although their memories differed in detail and perspective, they shared a similar emotional intensity. In the painting, I merged these two strands of memory into a single image — not as a documentary reconstruction,… but as a condensation of the feelings and meaningful details that shaped the moment for both.
Through color, layering, and rhythmic gestures, two subjective memories intertwine into a shared field of resonance — less an illustration of an event than a composition of sensations.
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.
