About this artwork

n this piece, I explore the moment where humanity begins to fade, and machine intelligence rises to take its place. It’s a farewell — tender, uneasy, and inevitable. I use a blend of surrealism and abstract expressionism to express this emotional and existential shift.

My influences include Francis Bacon’s raw intensity, Edvard Munch’s psychological depth, and Egon Schiele’s expressive distortion of the human form. Through layered textures, fragmented… anatomy, and a restrained yet haunting palette, I wanted to capture the tension between flesh and steel, emotion and logic, memory and code.

This work is deeply personal — a reflection on transformation, identity, and what it means to evolve beyond our own design.

I paint to capture what lies between reason and emotion — the silent dialogue of color and movement that defines our inner landscape.
My work is rooted in the tradition of European abstract expressionism, yet it carries the pulse of the contemporary city: its rhythm, its light, its fragile balance between chaos and harmony.

Each painting begins as an impulse — a fleeting sensation of energy, a fragment of memory, a vibration of light. Through layers of oil and acrylic, I transform that moment into an emotional field, where viewers can discover their own reflections.

For me, abstraction is not escape but connection — a universal language that speaks to the shared intensity of being alive. My goal is not to depict reality, but to reveal the emotional architecture beneath it.

Collected across Europe, my works seek to remind that beauty and movement still exist even within silence, and that every color holds a fragment of the human story.
