Acrylic and oil pastels on wood · 50 × 90 cm · 2024
An expressive abstract composition built from six interconnected panels, each carrying its own visual language while contributing to a larger emotional landscape. Layers of acrylic, pastel, marks, lines and textured gestures move across the surface in a constant tension between structure and spontaneity. Deep violets, blues, turquoise, crimson, black and flashes of white create an atmosphere that feels simultaneously intimate and restless. Repeated marks, symbols and handwritten-like gestures appear and disappear beneath successive layers, suggesting fragments of thoughts, memories and emotions rather than a literal narrative. The work invites the viewer to move from panel to panel, discovering new forms and relationships each time. There is no single focal point; instead, the eye is continually drawn into the surface, where order and chaos coexist.
Some thoughts cannot be expressed in words. They emerge as fragments. This work grew from the idea that our inner world is rarely orderly. Memory, emotion, experience and imagination overlap, disappear and return in unexpected ways. Each panel represents a fragment of that process — a moment, a thought, a feeling or perhaps something that has been forgotten but still leaves a trace. The layers were built intuitively, allowing marks to remain visible rather than covering everything with a finished surface. Lines cross one another, forms interrupt forms, and colours collide and then find their own balance. Together, the six panels become a kind of visual diary — not telling one particular story, but leaving enough space for the viewer to find their own. The painting is less about what is seen, and more about what the viewer feels while looking.
