My work explores the fragile boundary between organism, memory, and erosion through heavily textured paintings centered on fish-like forms. I approach the body not as a biological subject to represent faithfully, but as a surface marked by transformation, pressure, and time.
The fish appears simultaneously as creature, fossil, ruin, and residue. Its anatomy is fragmented, excavated, and reconstructed through layers of paint, incision, and accumulation. I am interested in the tension between vitality and decay: what remains visible after a body has been altered, wounded, or partially consumed by its environment.
Materiality is essential to the process. Thick surfaces, carved textures, and abrasive gestures create a physical language in which painting behaves almost like sediment or scar tissue. Fluorescent and acidic colors contrast with darker organic masses, evoking unstable ecosystems, contamination, bioluminescence, or mutated forms of life.
Rather than illustrating a specific narrative, these works create ambiguous biological landscapes where destruction and regeneration coexist. The paintings function as remnants of unknown species or emotional archeologies suspended between nature and abstraction.
Through these hybrid forms, I seek to construct a visual field where matter itself carries memory, violence, and persistence.
