This body of work is a natural continuation of my three-dimensional practice. Although created on canvas, the works function not as surfaces but as spaces. Painting moves beyond flatness, acquiring depth, volume, and movement, becoming a field of experience.
The works exist between the organic and the cosmic. Layers, structures, and forms evoke tissues, neural networks, fossils, and vast universes at the same time. Extreme zoom in and extreme zoom out coexist.
Movement is constant. Attraction, absorption, expansion, and mutation reflect inner states, tensions, and processes of evolution. Nothing remains fixed; everything is in continuous transformation.
Within this experience emerges a sense of awe rooted in knowledge — the awareness of immensity, of countless galaxies, of scales that exceed human comprehension. Alongside awe exists fear, not as threat, but as an existential realization of our smallness, of being a mere dot within an unfathomable universe.
The works do not lock into a single interpretation. They remain open, like the worlds they suggest. They do not seek to explain, but to be experienced — as energy, as scale, as an encounter with boundlessness, knowledge, and transformation.
