About
Painting as rhythm, contrast and transformation
My work begins with a free gesture and develops through strong contrasts and layered brushstrokes, allowing new, often surreal forms to emerge spontaneously as I paint. I work primarily in oils, building the painting through thin, transparent layers, as well as in acrylics, while linear drawing provides the foundation for each new space.
My practice draws on European abstract expressionism and post-Cubist figuration while reaching towards the metaphysical. Colour and an inner rhythm connect forms that move between abstraction, the figure, landscape and architecture.
Between Stillness and Intensity
Art does not arise from peace, but from the rift between stillness and intensity.
My practice rests on the collision of these two forces: the need for inner calm and the power with which life sets us in motion, time and again. This is not a search for a final answer, but a conscious surrender to the rhythm of existence as it continually changes, flows and takes new forms.
Each work is a quiet imprint of that inner struggle — an attempt to capture the fluidity of life and its ceaseless change in a web of colour, line and form. I do not seek static harmony, but a balance that quivers, that lives and breathes with the world around us and within us.
All that remains on the canvas is a trace of that search — an attempt to feel and record the pulse of what is constantly changing.
In the formal language of art, he builds an overall harmony both through calm tones of colour and through a network of fine lines, often inaudible and invisible. […] Concealment is synchronised with the surfacing of associations, and a quiet mysticism forms an in-between space of the existing and the imaginary.
