STATEMENT
The Suspended Moment
Symbols play a central role in my practice. I view our current era of overlap and confusion as fertile ground for seeking "suspended moments"—fragments of eternity hidden in the everyday. I often capture these with a quick smartphone photo, a spontaneous gesture to freeze an ephemeral balance. I then strip that frame of its ordinary dimension, redesigning and recomposing it. Through layers of paint and contrast, I restore depth, soul, and substance.
The Goal of the Work
My pieces are intended to be visual metaphors—open spaces for reflection. I do not seek to provide answers, but rather to pose questions. I want to offer the viewer a chance to pause, to detach for a few minutes, to take a breath, and to be guided simply by emotion. For me, art is one of the few remaining means through which the soul awakens.
Art as a Call to the Soul
My research stems from an urgent need: to provoke a profound and authentic encounter between the observer and the complexity of the human experience. This process begins with me, through constant observation and a silent, ongoing dialogue with my surroundings. My works are the visual manifestation of this inner journey.
The Act of Resistance
In a present dominated by digital frenzy and homogenization, I feel the need to refocus on uniqueness: of the word, the gesture, and the mark. For me, handwriting is an act of resistance. The letters and numbers I integrate into my work are not mere decorations; they are pigments, symbols, and fragments of memory. Every mark is unrepeatable, just like every individual. I believe in the immortal power of words—their ability to transcend time and the hand that wrote them. By bringing these signs into the realm of painting, I allow them to become matter, presence, and emotion once more.
