I think of portraiture as an optic through which I can approach any subject – a person, a tree or an object – challenging an anthropocentric distinction between human and non-human subjects. What defines portraiture for me is the intimacy of this encounter – a form of sustained attention that creates a particular closeness between the artist and the subject.
I approach inner mythology as a place where reality becomes experience, building a personal visual language from lived experience, historical references, myths and quotations from art.
the ongoing project
This project explores how reality can be perceived through a connection with the inner world. Inner mythology functions here both as a form of support and as a tool for living through anxiety and instability. Formally, the project investigates the canvas as a working surface, reflecting fragmented perception and the difficulty of grasping large-scale processes as a single whole. At this stage, the project includes one completed work and a series of preparatory studies for future pieces.
Body presence is a space for observation in my practice: how a body occupies and interacts with its surroundings, how it changes depending on the way it is seen.
