Between Memory and Movement: Painting as Threshold and Terrain

• My artistic practice has taken shape through a persistent engagement with abstraction, gesture, color, materiality and a sense of landscape. Landscape not only as a place of origin or nostalgia, but primarily as a threshold—a psychological and social terrain where memory transforms.

• The act of painting echoes sculpture and three-dimensional installation, whether on latex, bronze, or canvas. The surface holds both presence and absence, accumulation and erasure. I leave space for ambiguity, inviting the viewer into a slow, tactile encounter with what remains and what slips away.

• My process is layered and deliberately interrupts the painter’s trace. I use insulating materials before applying paint to the canvas, resulting in surfaces where only partial layers adhere. Over time, my compositions have shifted from quiet, expansive spaces that evoke imagined terrains to denser and more dynamic fields. This evolution reflects a deeper need to dissolve boundaries and allow color and movement to lead.

• I attempt to create spaces that resist immediate interpretation—spaces shaped by fragmented memory, collective loss, and the ephemeral. Living and working in Berlin and experiencing life in 2025, themes such as human mobility, cultural displacement, and global gentrification—drawn from personal experience—have naturally become part of my artistic practice.
