Oil and oil pastel on canvas
A reflection on the sensation of spring rain during the transition between the cold of the waning winter and the freshness of the first breath of spring. Everything remains shrouded in constant damp, and yet everything is already imbued with a rich green. Even as the worry lingers that we may never fully leave this arduous winter behind, the cycle of the seasons reminds us that, in its constant recurrence, everything gradually turns for the better.
I replace the real objects in the space with flowing colours and lines. Beyond any concrete figuration, the human presence has already been absorbed into them; everything is subject to a subtle, constant change. I have frozen a specific moment in order to reveal it – thus we share a continuum of time and space, as well as a fragment of my memory.

Structure, content and the freedom of the imagination I prefer to use collage, combining different levels of saturation and colour nuances to make space visible. For me, painting means constructing structures, filling them with content and engaging in a continuous creative process. I use lines to break up large areas of colour and seek that one, captured moment in the tension between balance and imbalance.
It is precisely the simplicity of these colour fields and the reduction of colour that open up a vast space for the viewer’s own imagination. When the canvas is no longer overloaded with representational details, it transforms into an ‘open vessel’. These visual voids are like half-open doors, inviting the viewer to step inside with their own memories and emotions. As the picture does not dictate a definitive answer, it becomes an individual reflection of time, space and emotion for each person.
