About this artwork
C art series
Each work in the C art series 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 refer to this phenomenon as the autonomous life of the painting.
For this reason, the artworks are not signed with… my name. Instead, I developed a symbol representing the essence of the FLY method, acknowledging the painting as a living process rather than a personal declaration.
Within the broader unfolding of the C series, each artwork reflects the idea that perception itself is fluid. The paintings are not depictions of the sea, the cosmos, or any single identifiable landscape. They are manifestations of perception in motion—visual environments where singular meaning dissolves, and multiple realities coexist.

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.
