Credentials

My artistic research is born from subtraction, from the desire to leave space for silence, for light and for what often remains invisible.
Through painting, matter, and contemplative photography, I explore the fragile boundary between presence and absence. My works thrive on the balance between emptiness and matter, light and shadow, gesture and suspension.
I'm drawn to anything that bears the marks of time and imperfection: worn jute, raw paper, pigments, chalk, water, fibers, and worn surfaces. I don't use them as decorative elements, but as emotional traces and silent memories.
The minimalism I seek is neither cold nor geometric, but contemplative and material, influenced by wabi-sabi aesthetics, Eastern sensibility, and the most essential contemporary photography.

The “unfinished” is a fundamental part of my artistic language: I am interested in suggesting rather than explaining, leaving the observer the space to emotionally complete what is not fully shown.
