Nothing and Everything Collection

The idea is simple, I let myself open up to unexpected compositions. When painting I try not to think, constantly reminding myself to ignore the need to attach meaning or purpose to what I am doing at the moment. As artists, we love (and are expected)  to label our work, writing a statement of what makes us unique as individuals. Our work is supposed to be a window to our consciousness.

This is a series of paintings with no story to tell and no predetermined agenda.

Nothing and Everything 1

2016-2019

A series that dives into the act of creation as an autonomous territory, untouched by conscious representation. The works emerge as traces of an introspective process, where gesture is both intention and outcome. A meditation on making as a form of being.

Nothing and Everything 2

2018 -2024

An organic continuation of the initial impulse, where the works unfold like organisms in constant transformation. Matter, line, and form become primal languages—witnesses to a search that resists fixed outcomes and embraces the present as the only certainty.
