Statement

In my work, I explore the themes of nature and landscape through abstract painting. I create varied interpretations and impressions of landscapes, aiming to capture their emotional and historical depth. Nature, as a witness to different eras and cultural changes over time, plays a central role in my artistic practice.

By mixing my own colors, I develop unique palettes that reflect the diverse impressions a landscape can evoke in the viewer. This process highlights the idea that nature is not static, but engages in a continuous, mutual influence with people. Through distinct color combinations and shifting perspectives, I translate this relationship onto the canvas.

GlogauAIR Project

During my stay at GlogauAIR I want to explore the relationship between nature and city through painting, taking as a starting point the contrast between fast-paced urban life and the silent but persistent presence of nature. In a context such as Berlin, a city in constant transformation, I propose to visually reflect on how nature interacts with the urban environment and how, despite the brutality of the environment and the pace imposed by contemporary society, nature always finds a way to reappear and flourish.

The work starts from a poetic image: buildings from which vegetation emerges, roots that go through cracks, trees that sprout in forgotten corners. This vision projects the idea of a nature that not only resists, but also coexists and transforms the urban space, revealing a transcendental dimension of the natural in the midst of chaos. In this duality between the built and the organic, I also seek to represent the ephemeral nature of human presence as opposed to the silent permanence of nature, which acts as a witness of the epochs, of change and of the passing of time.

Through this project, I want to open a space for contemplation and dialogue about how we inhabit the city, what we leave out of our daily rhythm, and how we could look again – with different eyes – at that nature that is still there, patient, alive, latent.
