In my work, I explore the figurative role as an unstable construction that is shaped by the pressures of expectations, relationships, and power. I do not perceive the figures in the series as portraits of specific individuals, but as bearers of states and functions that are subject to varying degrees of control and disruption.
For me, the painterly gesture is not just a formal device, but an event that can confirm, disrupt, or completely question the figure. In some paintings, I remain with relative stability and legibility, while in others I consciously enter into destruction, overpainting, and loss of control as a methodological tool of research.
The series does not work with a single expression, but with different states of one question: how long is identity able to maintain its shape if it ceases to be protected by representation. The result is not a linear story, but a field of tension between calm, role, and their disintegration.
The series investigates the figure not as a portrait or narrative subject, but as a role under pressure. Through controlled painterly intervention — and in some cases deliberate non-intervention — I examine how long figurative identity can maintain its structure when exposed to disruption, erosion, or restraint.
The works are conceived as a hierarchical series, where individual paintings carry different functions: stability, condensation of control, erosion, and collapse. Rather than a unified style, the project operates as a field of tension between painterly control and its failure.
