ORIGINS
ORIGINS · Origin · Transformation
The ORIGINS series brings together works in which the foundations of my current visual language first emerged.
Through a direct engagement with material, organic forms evolve that are discovered rather than planned. Rust, acrylic and translucent glazes merge into surfaces where time is not depicted but made visible.
The works exist between nature and abstraction, dissolution and consolidation. Material becomes a carrier of memory, transformation and origin. Every trace points to a process that has already begun while remaining open to further change.
ORIGINS is not an ending but a beginning—the origin of an artistic language that continues to unfold throughout my later bodies of work.
ORIGINS · Origin · Transformation
ORIGINS marks the beginning of my contemporary visual language.
Material is no longer used to depict a subject but becomes the starting point of the work itself. Rust, acrylic and translucent glazes form organic structures in which time, transformation and memory become visible.
Each work emerges through a dialogue between intention and process. Layer by layer, the surfaces evolve while preserving traces of their own formation without imposing a fixed narrative.
ORIGINS understands origin not as the past, but as a living beginning—the point from which my later bodies of work, culminating in AFTERSTATE, gradually evolved.
