ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores organic structures and their internal logic through drawing and painting.

Interweaving, organic structures, and figuration are not understood as separate categories, but as interconnected fields. They revolve around fundamental questions of identity, memory, and transience, unfolding through processes of growth, density, and dissolution.

Within organic structures, the focus shifts from the depiction of place toward the investigation of structure. Vegetal forms, branches, and accumulations develop into complex formations in which foreground and background increasingly dissolve. Pictorial space emerges less through perspective than through rhythm, layering, and density.

Figuration likewise moves beyond representation. The human body is conceived as permeable — as a site where inner and outer worlds, perception and projection intersect. Animals and organic elements do not function as symbols, but as extensions of this relational field. The figures are marked by a quiet, contemplative presence.

Interweaving describes not only a formal principle, but a fundamental structure of the work: lines, forms, and pictorial spaces interlace to form a network of relations.

Drawing forms the foundation of the work, where perception and structure condense into line. Painting, by contrast, opens the process, dissolves contours, and shifts the emphasis toward surface, movement, and presence.

Across all areas, the work investigates how vitality can be understood as a network of relations — not as a fixed form, but as something that emerges through transition, connection, and fragmentation.

The works can be understood as a quiet, poetic approach to human presence — not as something stable, but as something that unfolds in transition, relation, and fragment.
