About this artwork

I work from the tension between perfection and fragility. In ESSENTIA IV, the white architecture, the pool, and the sky create an atmosphere of order and visual calm. However, this harmony is disrupted by the presence of a caravan: a foreign body that introduces displacement, life, and a subtle discomfort.
I'm interested in how beauty can also be a trap. The clean, luminous scene reveals a posthuman architecture: a space designed for technical perfection,… but where humanity appears only as a trace or residue. The absence of human figures is not an absence of life: the viewer occupies that void, confronting their own desire for control and their fragility in the face of artificiality.
From a pictorial perspective, I combine digital precision and manual intervention—airbrush and acrylic—to restore physicality and presence to an image born from an algorithm. In this dialogue between machine and gesture, painting becomes an act of resistance and rehumanization.

I am a visual artist and art teacher. My work is part of the ESSENTIA project, an investigation into the foundations of human existence and the structures that mediate our relationship with the environment.

In this context, the ESSENTIA series forms the core of my practice. Through an architectural and minimalist pictorial language, I explore light, silence, and space as conceptual material. These compositions, dominated by whites and blues, question human presence through its absence.

My process, a hybrid of digital and manual techniques, is situated within posthumanist thought: the work emerges as an organism that integrates technology, matter, and consciousness. ESSENTIA reflects on the human condition, contemporary living, and the search for balance between control, displacement, and vulnerability.
