The work explores the expressive potential of color—its depth, texture, and emotional charge. Color functions as both language and medium, enabling a balance between intuition and analysis. Each painting unfolds through a process that is both spontaneous and considered, shaped by emotional responsiveness as well as intellectual rigor.

Imagery becomes a site of inquiry, where formal exploration serves to retrieve, question, and redefine meaning. Layers of paint—applied through superimpositions, crossings, and continuous adjustments—build a visual architecture that resists easy resolution. This layered approach mirrors the fluid, often unstable nature of perception itself.

Gesture and intuition remain vital forces, yet are constantly tempered by careful drawing and sustained reflection. The resulting works operate in multiple registers at once: poetic, structural, and personal. They invite both contemplation and sensation, offering a space where complexity is not resolved but actively sustained.
