About this artwork

I work with collage as an act of both revealing and concealing. In this work, I am interested in the tension between visibility and protection. The fragmented portrait appears as if detached from the darkness, the gaze hidden behind a black surface reminiscent of a mask, eye patch, or aperture. It represents both conscious self-assertion and a refusal of unambiguous legibility.
The torn paper edges are not a decorative element, but rather allude… to ruptures, to interventions in the visual memory. I use tearing as a graphic gesture, as a counterpoint to photographic smoothness. The turquoise layers in the lower part of the image are reminiscent of water, horizons, or barriers, creating a silent movement that partially engulfs and simultaneously supports the portrait.
In terms of color, I work with strong contrasts between deep black, warm skin tones and cool blue tones.

My work moves between an intuitive process and a clearly defined conceptual framework.

In the Zenpolychromos series, I explore color as an energetic field in which feeling, consciousness, and structure merge.
Color determines the rhythm of my painting; its energy opens a space between movement and stillness.
Through layering, fragmentation, and gestural placements, a dialogue emerges between presence and emotion. Each work is an act of listening—a process in which color becomes vibration and perception translates into form.

In the collage series Fragmented Being, I explore identity as something incomplete. Figures, urban spaces, and pictorial elements are detached from their original context and reassembled. I understand the fragment not as a loss, but as a space of possibility in which perception, memory, and inner experience overlap.
