About this artwork
The platinum relief here functions as a precious yet unyielding shell: it represents the high expectations and inner hardness that often paralyze us. The metallic structure fragments the face and creates a physical barrier. It shows the point where the longing for lightness meets the heaviness we impose upon ourselves.
Why this… work? Those who stand before this image see a state of being. The platinum relief captures the light and is constantly changing: just like our perception of ourselves. It is a dialogue for those who recognize beauty in imperfection and appreciate the value of a single moment.
Original, unique, hand-signed with certificate of authenticity.

« The more curious we are, the more creative we become »
I don't understand painting as a representation, but as a space for inner movement. As a place where that which cannot be captured becomes visible.
I work in series that develop organically during the process, not from pre-existing concepts. Material plays a central role: acrylic, texture, gold leaf, platinum, and mixed media are not merely decorative elements, but carriers of meaning.
Concealment is not a retreat. It is a deliberate act. It creates distance, protection, and a new way of reading.
Faces and bodies do not appear as surfaces for identification, but rather as spaces for projection. I understand identity not as a state, but as a process, characterized by the tension between visibility and withdrawal.
