ABOUT THE FLUIDS «My monochrome black paintings are an exploration of the most profound darkness, one that is not merely absence, but a dense presence.These works mark the beginning of my journey intototal abstraction, where the use of pure black pigment and paint becomes a medium of both reflection and transformation.
Often,these pieces evoke the texture of bark or earth-natural, raw, and primal, but they are far more than just surface.
There is power in the blackness, an intense force that seems toreach beyond the canvas, pulling the viewer into an uncharted realm. It is within this darkness that light resides, not in the conventional sense of brightness, but in subtle, elusive glimmers. The black is not empty; it is pregnant with potential, layered with history, memory, and unspoken truths.For many, these paintings evoke a deep emotional response, a confrontation with the self that can be unsettling.
Tears are notuncommon in front of these works, as if the viewer is faced withan unconscious part of themselves that has been long hidden orrepressed. The starkness of the black surface acts as a mirrorto an interiority long unacknowledged, a reflection of what is buried beneath the surface, yet impossible to ignore.

The intensity of these monochromes is undeniable.
They disturb, challenge, and draw in those who approach them.Their power lies in their ability to demand presence, to force introspection without offering an easy answer.
The light within the black remains elusive, shimmering only atthe periphery, while the profound darkness invades, filling the space with a quiet, heavy intensity.These works are not meant to be easily understood.
They are enigmatic, questions without clear answers.
But they do not leave the viewer unchanged. Something happens when one stands before them, something intangible yet undeniable.
The rawness of the black surface absorbs the observer, creating a dialogue that is felt ratherthan spoken. What is this feeling? What is being revealed? The answer resides in the liminal space between one’s reality and fantasy, where the artwork awakens something profound, something concealed, always present yet just beyond perception.»

MY BLUES : «Humility, the quiet grace of welcoming the mystery of the self, unfolds like an endless horizon. In these textured movements of blue, the conscious and the unconscious converge, inviting exploration—faithful, whole, and unyielding.This is the art of creating subjective meaning, a reflection of one’s essence. To know oneself is to recognize the edges of being, to evoke alternate paths, and to awaken to the boundaries of one’s own awareness.
In these layers of pigment, the synaptic cleft, the infinitesimal gap between two cells, becomes a metaphor. It is the space whereconnection sparks, but also where separation persists.
Through these paintings, I explore the fission of our unconsciousworlds, the spaces where thoughts linger and dissolve.
To leave the synaptic cleft is to transcend. It is to bridge thedivide between the micro-environment of our inner world andthe expanse of consciousness that surrounds us. The movementfrom within to without, from the unseen to the visible.
Each brushstroke in these abstract blues whispers of this journey:a passage from the intimate folds of the mind to the open airof awareness, where mystery meets light, and meaning is bornanew.»
