By painting deliberately unremarkable, everyday scenes, I turn my attention to what is systematically pushed beyond the limits of perception — to the irrational, the alive, the uncontrollable. A restless, obscure, fluid reality lies beneath the surface of well-organized daily life. Yet this reality is always near — no matter how much we try to order the world, layering it with ever more logic and structure.

For me, painting becomes a tool for bypassing the rational. It allows me to at least attempt to capture the quiet presence of this unsettling reality — to peer beyond the threshold of logic, into a space where there is no neat, singular system, but instead something potential, unknown, and charged with mystery.

By dissolving the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, and by exploring the materiality of light, I try to get closer to the inner truth of an image — or at least to accept that something within it might resist being seen. It is important for me to maintain this tension: between the image and its collapse, between the familiar and the estranged, between the effort to understand and the permission not to.
