About this artwork
SPREAD YOUR WINGS was a breakthrough for me.
Not when painting. But when peeling.
There's this one moment in my work that always feels like a shedding of skin. When I peel the strips away, it's as if I'm uncovering something that's been there all along, but not yet visible.
This work was particularly intense. The gaze, the colors, the radiance—suddenly everything was there.
The figure appears as if it has just freed itself. And that's exactly… what happened. Layer by layer. Like a butterfly bursting out of its cocoon.
In the background: silver leaf. Not an effect, but an energy field.
SPREAD YOUR WINGS reminds me how important it is to let go. This applies to the painting process. This applies to life.
Original artwork, unique. Sold with certificate of authenticity.

« The more curious we are, the more creative we become »
My work explores the tension between identity, body, concealment, and transformation.
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.
