There’s something about mixing colours together that’s felt a bit strange to me lately. I think I’ve been trying to express more through things I don’t usually feel completely comfortable with, just to see what happens when I step outside my usual patterns.
I woke up and had a whole dream in which this painting was already somewhere in my head, so I started working on it before the feeling could fade. Usually it’s music I dream about – random melodies and beats that I can never quite remember once I’m awake. This time, at least, I had something I could actually hold on to.

“My work emerges from the interplay between nature, physics and childhood memories. Nature influences my perception particularly through movement. When travelling or observing landscapes, forms dissolve for me into lines, colours and flowing structures. This way of seeing has shaped my artistic language and deepened my interest in physics, as it gives me a different perspective on how the world is connected through movement, energy and constant change.
In my paintings, I explore these visible and invisible movements. Lines meet, intersect and form new spaces and connections. My focus is less on depicting the outward form of things and more on the forces and processes that lie behind them. My childhood memories also play an important role in my work. They are linked to curiosity, imagination and an open-minded way of perceiving the world."
