The artist wants to establish a form that unfolds slowly, allowing painting’s possibilities to gradually emerge over time—exploring its depths, pushing its limits, and reorganizing familiar elements within painting. This process elevates them from a frozen past to an expression of the present. It is not about realism but about making illusions believable, much like the enchantment of magic. Through conceptually set scenes, fragments of daily life, art history, anecdotes, and mythology intertwine within the work, ultimately taking shape as a visual form.
