| " my tool is the trace: i paint without brushes, erasing paint with my hands, collaborating with the material to uncover what is hidden. the result is not predetermined, the process is a way to free oneself from automatism, the medium is co-author and bearer of distinct meaning, and the physical embodiment of the trace is an analog form of manifestation in real reality, a testament to actual events the center of my practice is the paradox of the trace in the 'presence of absence,' a kind of living body of memory: something that points to what has already passed or disappeared, yet exists in itself and can be significant my works are more contemplative spaces than objects for perception. they resemble fragments of an emotional network, allowing one to slip out of the accelerated rhythm and slow down the meanings of this network - memories, thoughts, feelings, states, associations, and interpretations - are very alive and ever-changing, they are simultaneously a condition, a space, a material, and a product of my practice completed works can be perceived both individually and as part of new and new 'sets,' blurring the boundaries of authorship and completeness. this transforms them into a dynamic phenomenon rather than a static object, much like the intertwining and changing meanings within the emotional network " |
