Painting

Painting as a language of inner experience.

My paintings explore the invisible – thoughts, emotions, music and memory – through the relationship between line, colour and form. Between figuration and abstraction, each work becomes a space for contemplation.

01

Cartographies of the Invisible

Mapping the invisible — emotions expressed through image

Paintings that attempt to express invisible emotions through image. Visual explorations of thought, music, and perception — where inner experience takes shape, colour, and rhythm.

02

Spontaneous Compositions

Spontaneous compositions — between abstraction and figuration

Compositions made without a prior plan, where gesture and intuition guide the process. Paintings that oscillate between abstract and figurative, with no set theme — pure visual exploration.

03

Poetics of Space

Poetics of space — studied, empty, poetic

Paintings with extensive preliminary study, simpler, empty, and poetic. Work that seeks essence — where silence and space are as important as mark and colour.

04

Research

Early research — colourful, experimental, formative

Research paintings from the time of faculty – colorful, vibrant, and still from a time of research. The beginning of a visual language that became more defined over the years.

05

Human Figure & Portrait

Figure & portrait — acrylic portraits and oil figure paintings

Portraits done in acrylics and oil paintings done with a nude model. The human figure as a central theme – direct observation, expression and presence.
