About this artwork

In creating this piece, I delved into the ethereal realm of expressionism, using a soothing palette of whites and grays, punctuated with subtle hints of color. My strokes, mixed through acrylics, gouache, and oil pastels, bring forth a rich textural depth, reflecting the elusive beauty of organic forms. This artwork is meant to evoke a sense of serenity and introspective calm, ideal for transforming any space into a sanctuary of peace and contemplation.

« My paintings are my poetic expression and artistic scenario. A story without words. No beginning or end. »

Aritst statement

The essence of my work lies in the search for a motif that reveals no worldly subject, yet still breathes with its own life and presence. This becomes apparent as you begin to sense the space, the form, the depth, and the quiet movement within it. With time, more layers, dimensions, and subtle shifts emerge from the painting’s surface.

When I create, I do so first to fascinate myself, always reaching for something that transcends the form of art itself. My paintings stand as my artistic testament—visual narratives without beginning or end. As I paint, I enter into a dialogue with the motif, seeking to capture an inner animation, a fleeting vision, a feeling that carries a soft, phantom resonance. When I can hear this resonance and feel that inner movement, I know the painting has come alive.Only then does its title reveal itself to me, and I leave all further interpretation to the viewer.
