Graph of the Heart 2023
Oil on canvas,
120 x 100 cm

My practice is rooted in the fundamental limitation of painting: the impossibility of compressing the world’s infinite complexity onto a physical, two-dimensional plane. In this series Graph of the Heart, I draw from my background in architecture and dance to translate structural notations into choreographed gestures, mapping a delicate dialogue between precision and freedom.

Through a process of dense layering, forms continuously emerge, fracture, and dissolve. This intentional state of unrest gives the canvases a perpetual energy—they do not resolve, but rather continue to question themselves long after the paint has dried. Ultimately, this body of work seeks the threshold where emotional and structural geometry intersect, capturing that elusive, mystical space where the unknown comes into being.
