Fragmented Drift (2026) is an abstract triptych that explores the ideas of territory, erosion, and visual memory. Conceived as a single continuous landscape split into three panels, the artwork investigates the tension between geographic permanence and the continuous transformation of natural spaces.
The piece is built through a meticulous process of layering and material accumulation. Dominated by an atmospheric palette of mineral blues, turquoises, and deep indigos, the surface undergoes a simultaneous process of construction and subtraction. The dense textures and dark, structured geometric marks at the base gradually dissolve toward the upper half, evoking the fluid energy of water, the luminous mist over the Greek islands' coastlines, and the physical weathering of a territory over time.
By breaking the composition across three distinct panels, the work challenges the traditional, static boundaries of landscape painting. The physical separation between the frames creates a structural rhythm that invites the viewer’s eye to bridge the gaps, transforming the act of contemplation into an active, spatial experience. Fragmented Drift does not attempt to replicate a specific place, but rather to construct an immersive psychological landscape where structure and dissolution, order and chaos, coexist in an unstable balance.
