Something Ends – Something Begins
I perceive the world as a network of interpersonal relationships built by interacting emotions. The connections that create this system are shaped by a constant dialogue between feeling and rational thought. They are formed by feelings, patterns passed down through upbringing (often from generation to generation), experiences, and fears.
In my paintings, this exchange is reflected in subtle color transitions – pinks hidden in subdued white, symbolizing emotions, and blues referring to rationality and reflection. Each work becomes a reflection of this emotional structure of the world – multi-layered, ambiguous, and open to interpretation.
Using my own technique of combining paint with Carrara marble, I create textures that are rough, granular, and material – yet simultaneously open to the action of light and the senses. The creative process itself unfolds in a repetitive, almost ritualistic rhythm – like meditation, in which gesture becomes a vehicle for concentration. The work's materiality invites the viewer to move: from a distance, toward closeness, and then back again—the rhythm of zooming in and out reflects the internal rhythm of transformation. Meaning is not imposed, but reveals itself gradually, in silence and presence.
I consciously limit my palette and reduce my composition to minimalist structures to direct the viewer's attention not to interpretation, but to experience. Just as paintings are created in a state of inner silence, their reception requires mindfulness—a gaze that takes its time and opens to new things.
In this reciprocity of the creative process and reception, a space for change is born—not abrupt, but quiet, internal. Can we influence the direction of our emotions and relationships? Is it possible to change the course of things like a stone changes the current of water? My paintings do not attempt to provide answers. But I believe that simply asking a question can be the beginning of transformation.
