abstract painting
In a contemporary context marked by artificial intelligence and automation, I place human presence, imperfection and materiality at the forefront, advocating a return to the analogue and the direct experience of the body in space through painting.
In my previous career in the media, for twenty years I experienced perfection, the rehearsed and the constructed - and with it, artificiality. This experience has made me even more sensitive to what is real, material and human
I am interested in what remains when the constructed ideal collapses.
I situate my work within the fields of abstract expressionism and color field painting, with the work of Helen Frankenthaler as a conceptual matrix. Her organic relationship between gesture and surface informs my practice, where process, time, and the physicality of the gesture are central.
I am painting predominantly on raw canvas, a support that preserves the porosity and resistance of the material, allowing color to seep into and engage in dialogue with the surface. Scale emerges as a consequence of the body's involvement with the support, leading me progressively toward larger formats, with an openness to a future monumental dimension.
