New works

These recent paintings mark a further refinement of my practice.
They do not expand upon previous motifs, but rather intensify the internal logic of painting itself—where image, gesture, and material converge into a more immediate presence.

The works emerge from a process of reduction and concentration.
Figurative elements dissolve into painterly structures, while color and surface gain autonomy. What remains is not representation, but a field of tensions—between control and rupture, density and openness, image and abstraction.

In these paintings, scale becomes an active element.
The works are not intended to be viewed from a distance, but rather as physical entities that reveal themselves through proximity, movement, and duration.

Rather than depicting something external, the paintings create their own conditions: th
s a space in which perception is continually renegotiated.

The works shown here are a selection of pieces from recent years.
I can send an expanded portfolio featuring additional groups of works upon request.

The tension between the original and painterly independence

My painting emerges from the tension between reference and autonomy. Photographic or real-world references are dissolved in the process and transformed into autonomous pictorial structures in which material, color, and density convey the meaning.

As a process-based practice, my work navigates the space between autonomous painting and its role as a form of translation within a social context—between mediation, production, and authorship.
