About the Work
About the Artist

A work from the Water Series.

Any attempt to create dissolves in the realization that nature has already done everything. One only needs to see. And to contemplate.

Technically, the artist did not paint anything onto the plywood surface, allowing the wood's natural grain to emerge on its own.

In his work, the artist approaches shyness not as a character trait but as a mechanism of visibility: a delay between intention and action, a moment of an "almost-event" in which reality is already emerging, yet still slipping away. Within this pause, identity takes shape, and the act of looking becomes a process of producing meaning between attention and distraction, trust and doubt, the private and the shared.

His current practice is centered on being absorbed by the screen as a mode of presence: on how the surface of the broadcast holds the gaze, how the format shapes perception, and how value can be extracted from digital flicker. Not in the form of a "correct" meaning, but as an opportunity to perceive reality anew beyond the screen. The artist does not promise clarity; instead, he tunes the signal so that viewers can become aware of their own way of looking.
