Selected archive: 2008-2024

This archive tracks the evolution of my visual language, from early explorations in printmaking and anatomical studies to the development of my current color-restricted methodology. These works represent the foundation of my inquiry into void, absence, and the psychological landscape.

See you later (2024)

Why is love intensified by absence? > See You Later explores the fact of grieving through the lens of neuroscience and surrealism. Inspired by Mary-Frances O’Connor’s The Grieving Brain, this series maps the "phantom limbs" of our personal ecosystems, the spaces where a loved one remains a permanent fixture in the mind’s map, despite their physical disappearance.

I. See you later in…

Focuses on the domestic landscape—living rooms and kitchens where the removal of a single, familiar object (like a table) forces the viewer to confront the "presence of absence."

II. The Departure

Depicts four characters shown from the back, moving toward a focal point beyond the frame. They are physically present but mentally already gone, representing the transition from the tangible to the remembered.

Posthumous (2018–2020)

This series serves as a visual investigation into the psychological trajectory of resilience. By moving away from explicit narrative, the work utilizes organic forms and shifting tonal values to map the internal process of navigating life after trauma. The compositions seek to balance the weight of memory with the light of recovery, inviting a universal reflection on healing and the mind-body connection.

Maps (2016–2018)

Maps explores the friction between data-driven orientation and the instability of the physical world. Through layered compositions of hard-edge shapes and vivid colors, this series treats the canvas as an 'antique wall' where the present moment—the 'here'—is immediately subsumed by the 'after-time.' These works question the veracity of our documented reality."

Serendipity (2013)

A focused exploration of chance and gesture, this series marks a shift toward the "color-restricted" methodology seen in my current practice. These works emphasize the raw materiality of paint and the "accidental" beauty found when formal control is momentarily relinquished.

"What is the deepest in man" (2009-2011)

Inspired by Paul Valéry’s assertion that 'the deepest thing in man is the skin,' this series externalizes the unseen movement of the mind. By integrating anatomical elements—pulmonary alveoli, ligaments, and flesh—into domestic environments, the work creates a chaotic dialogue between the biological body and its psychological landscape. The skin is treated not as a boundary, but as an expansive map of fleeting thought.

Night of loveless nights (2012–2014)

This body of work is a visceral response to the surrealist poetry of Robert Desnos, specifically the poem "Faire-part," received via email from a late lover. In this series, a modern ghost, a fleeting connection to a departed presence.

Utilising the precise, biting lines of etching and the bold, high-contrast voids of linocut, these pieces navigate the liminal space between dream and wakefulness. The works explore themes of solitude and the search for identity within a fractured nightscape, where the loss is translated into a physical, permanent etched reality.
