Easier Statement Than Done

"This piece embodies a complex interweaving of creation and material existence, pushing the boundaries of traditional painting techniques. Layers of paint, captured between sheets of clear adhesive vinyl, reveal the artist’s intervention as both deliberate and spontaneous. By pressing these layers, the act of creation becomes a tactile, an almost sculptural gesture—one where pressure, manipulation, and the unpredictable behavior of paint determine the final outcome. This method disrupts the artist’s control over the work, allowing the medium’s inherent properties to guide the final design. The work’s digital capture serves as a final stage, translating the three-dimensional texture of layered paint into a digital realm. Here, the play of light, shadow, and depth becomes flattened, creating a hybrid image that oscillates between painting and photography, physicality and digitality. The result is an ambiguous space where forms appear fluid yet frozen in time, and where colors interact in unexpected ways, merging and bleeding as if still in motion. This piece invites viewers to explore not only its abstract forms but also the hidden processes embedded within it. The creases, folds, and subtle distortions in the paint hint at the forces exerted upon it, capturing the rawness of creation within a static frame. It is a snapshot of movement, a record of the artist’s hand and the natural behavior of materials interacting, culminating in an artwork that seems to be both finished and perpetually in flux. Through this layered process, the work challenges us to reconsider the nature of painting itself—where the act of making, rather than the final image, is inseparably woven into the art’s existence"
