About this artwork
Nothing 2 Hide was created in a time of war, where proportions were so important in life. what is important in
critical times? for me, times of danger call for exposure better leave the body with the notion that nothing is left
unsorted behind me.
In this piece, I delved deeply into the abstract, exploring the profound interplay of acrylics, oil, and tar. I aimed to evoke a raw emotional response through the intense, swirling colors and the visceral… textures that blend yet conflict, reflecting the complexities of human emotions and the chaos within. Bringing this painting into your space invites a vibrant, thought-provoking ambiance, sparking continual reflection and intrigue through its bold, enigmatic presence.

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.
