NOMAD
series
The Nomad series is a collage of traces that occur during the collision of the author's elaborate observations and creative impulses. It's a visual symphony that reflects the nature of our existence as a wanderer moment by moment as we venture into the unknown. This series isn't just about capturing the beauty of the subject, it's about exploring the depth of the human mind and what it really means to be alive.
In every stroke of the brush and every swirl of color on the canvas, the artist tries to convey a primal feeling and intense passion that arises like goosebumps. Each painting is an exploration of the infinite nature of the human soul, and our inherent desire to find new experiences and discover the mysteries of chance.
The Nomad series celebrates the journey of life, reminding us that we are all travelers to this amazing life, each with its own unique story. It is an appeal of action that urges us all to embrace the unpredictability of life and seize every opportunity to explore and discover. "Well, let's travel together into the unknown. And let our souls fly freely among the stars."
ID
series
The ID (Identity) series is an identification photo of people the author knows.
Each stroke of the brush represents the artist's cherished memories and the impression of new experiences he is experiencing the moment he draws. In painting, the artist finds himself immersed in the person's soul, the conversation and touch with the person, and their unique identity.
ALLEGRO
series
The "Alegro Series" dances to the tune of a fleeting, vibrant moment in life, a personal song about rhythms and colors that affect our existence. Using charcoal or monochromatic oils, the artist cleverly captures the beating pulse of life. Titled Spiccato, it takes its name from the artist's fluid and dynamic charcoal technique, similar to the violin bow technique.
The form of the human body occupies the central stage, acting as an artist's muse. Through abstract improvisation, familiarity becomes new and attractive, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in all the contours and nuances. The author aims to capture the charismatic nature of the person itself through the play of form.
Creating a piece of work is an emotional and transformative experience for the artist, and each stroke and mark on a piece of paper reflects the object and the artist's deepest feelings and body rhythm. 'Alegro' wants to invite others on a journey of self-awareness and sensation, to embrace the fleeting beauty of life and inspire them to explore the world around them.
Allegro- Figure
Allegro - Head
In the 'Allegro' series, the 'Head' serves as the profound embodiment of the individuals I bring to life on canvas. Each stroke of charcoal intricately weaves the narrative of my evolving experiences, imprinting the canvas with the amalgamation of thoughts and memories associated with the depicted subjects. As the drawing unfolds, I immerse myself in the presence of the person, engaging in a silent dialogue that transcends the visual realm. The act of drawing becomes a conduit for forging a tangible connection with the unique identity of the portrayed individual, capturing not just their physical form but the essence of their being. Through the 'Head' series, I seek to evoke a visceral engagement with the viewer, inviting them to share in the profound intimacy of each rendered portrait.
