About this artwork
C 14 is part of the C art series, an ongoing exploration within my FLY method, a practice grounded in the dialogue between deliberate action and the unexpected merging of contradicting materials. Rather than imposing a fixed composition, I set conditions in which matter, gravity, oxidation, and time interact, allowing the painting to evolve through emergence.
The work's surface bears traces of this evolution. Mineral-like textures, ruptures, and… layered sediments suggest geological processes unfolding over long durations. At the painting’s center, a deep blue-violet field forms a gravitational presence around which fragments of rust, red, and earth tones appear to drift and settle. The visual structure evokes multiple scales simultaneously: an oceanic vortex, an aerial landscape, or a cosmic formation suspended in space.
This multiplicity is the basis of the FLY philosophy, which is experiential rather than single-meaning.

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.
