At the center of my current practice is the tension between representation and dissolution. By deconstructing and abstracting the figure, I open up a visual space in which form and ambiguity coexist and mutually inform one another.

My work develops through a hybrid working process that combines painting with reference material collected from online imagery, my personal photo archive, and AI-generated images. These different image sources are only brought together during the painting process itself.

The references are first digitally manipulated—stretched, compressed, and fragmented—so that they barely remain in their original form. Within the painting process, these image fragments are further transformed through smudging, overpainting, and the deliberate removal of paint layers. The composition emerges gradually through the arrangement, overlaying, and continual reconfiguration of fragments.

Expressive brushstrokes interrupt the digital fragments, shifting the image between constructed surfaces and intuitive mark-making.

The vertical fragmentation of the image material reflects a reduced attention span shaped by constant media overload, while simultaneously addressing the coexistence and overlap of physical and digital realities.
