A three-dimensional painting that is created by fusing the materiality of physical elements in the space with light, shadows and their caricatured imitations. The flatness turns into volume, and the volume — into the flatness.

The soft and warm lighting contradicts the coldness of concrete walls.

"This feels like a Living Room", someone said.

The Square Painting was created in the times of the first Dutch lockdown, when I felt shackled in the four walls of my square room.

Untitled (Version 1).jpg

From the effort to study painting as an object and learn about its possible qualities, the work Untitled (2020) was created. It is an endless process of rebuilding and constructing the work, over and over again. Therefore, this painting (or is it a sculpture?) exists in different versions that change and morphe over time. With its ridiculous formal elements and references to the culture of comics, this work can be called a humorous representation, which, however, includes serious intentions to break down the established framework of such a medium as painting.

From the diary:

"I construct with colours, materials and shapes. It is a combination of intuitive choices, decisions based on the research of the work of ancestors and environmental world/surrounding elements. I tend to have a strong interest in turning objects into *cartoonish imitations*. This way they step into a flat world, becoming dematerialized versions of themselves. I like the contrast between flatness and depth.
