About this artwork
Through my FLY method The painting evolves through emergence rather than strict control. The meaning unfolds with time.
This multiplicity lies at the heart of the FLY philosophy. A painting is not intended to deliver a single meaning. It functions instead as an open field of interpretation. Art, for me, is a limitless territory where forms can be continuously rediscovered and reinterpreted. The diversity of perception turns out to be a source of… inspiration.
Underlying the C approach is the idea that authentic creation emerges in the space between control and surrender.
Each work, therefore, holds a delicate equilibrium between structure and unpredictability. What appears on the canvas is neither purely intentional nor purely accidental. It is the visible trace of a dialogue between the artist’s vision and the autonomous behaviour of color, texture, chemistry, and time. I often call this phenomenon the painting's autonomous life.

« The physical body ends in the skin, the mind reaches the stars. »
My practice is rooted in material investigation, where the artwork becomes a site of layered processes unfolding over time.
At the core of my work is industrial cold tar— carrying geological memory. Tar absorbs light, slows movement, and resists clarity, introducing friction into the visual field. When combined with oil, gesso, and pigment, it generates a continuous negotiation between opacity and luminosity, between what is buried and what is revealed.
These dense, absorptive surfaces function as active fields—capable of retaining, resisting, and transforming the materials brought into contact with them. Each work evolves through sequences of action and reaction, of revealing and concealing. The surface becomes an archive of gestures, material events, and temporal shifts.
Central to my work is the notion of layering as a structural condition. Each painting develops through successive strata of material interactions: absorption, oxidation, sedimentation, and reactivation.
