"The Smell of Cherry Jam" compliments the "Sogni Italiani" series representing the peaceful family lunch at the lake. The state of Happiness for me is a mix of visions, smells, sounds and feelings. I am engaging all senses of the viewers to follow their own path of sweet memories of dreams. The painting features both of the main characters of my art - Sunlight and Bluebird of Happiness. I keep turning to them while depicting the moments of joy and elusive state of inner balance. I am fascinated by the sunlight, the way it lights up the colors of the day and creates warm bright memories of the cherished time that we spend with our beloved ones. The metaphor of Bluebird as a metamodernist image is seen as harbinger of Happiness and Hope in pantheons of ancient and contemporary cultures. People keep chasing the Bluebird and its vibes in of our daily life while it is always reachable as soon as one starts looking for it. 

The Smell Of Cherry Jam

“Pan con aire!” 

My works invest the question of individual and common memories in life through painting. My starting point is to choose a memorable yet familiar moment that everyone can relate to and which can be easily linked to the spectator’s own memories. This painting represents a moment just before the end of a birthday party. Gold balloons still hanging, leftover appetizers, empty glasses and a soft jazz melody seem to announce the end of the festivities. We have all celebrated a birthday in our lives and know the sudden feeling of fullness and emptiness before the end of a party, especially for such a special occasion. And who could be the last person playing piano ? Only the viewer knows the answer.

Rue de la République

This series of still life images feature the overlooked, the forgotten. Many of the objects would usually be discarded and have no intrinsic value, yet other objects make connections between people and places.

This series, _House Keeping_ has been made over several years. Usually the scenarios are happened upon, noticing familial groups lit only by natural light, in a corner of a familiar or unusual setting. My work is long-form, ongoing chapters that connect and collide with the repeated themes, remembered, or observed. Often, the considered slowness of the work itself is reflected in the groups of objects which relate to the home, both personal and more universal. Mortality and memory form the basis of all the work I make. The objects are usually significant, they belonged to my mother or grandmothers, and explore the idea of what we choose to keep over time. I am interested in the notion of display in a home setting, the placing of valued objects and the idea of keeping house, living an ordered and clean life, keeping up appearances, the loss of the original location and the idea of the object continuing to represent a particular person. 

The light in each scene is an equal subject. It is this quality of light and the way the light dances through each image that keeps the attention and allows one to explore and examine the exquisite detail of the objects laid out in each tableau. Proust in _In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower,_

describes objects on a table in the sun, he poetically describes the light, “the bell-tent of a used napkin, within which the sun has secreted it’s yellow velvet.”

This artwork encapsulates the struggle and frustration of navigating this emotional labyrinth I am far too familiar with – anxiety. It's like a constant feeling that, regardless of the choices I make or the paths I take, I can't seem to find an escape route. There is no way out.

Quantum entanglement describes the way particles affect one another regardless of spatial location, meaning that they are interconnected and entangled with one another. This theory proves that our thoughts, feelings and actions affect one another regardless of if we’re on opposite ends of the earth or if we’re even aware of this fact. This series works through visualizing the path of entanglement that connects us all.

Artist Statement // Whenever, Wherever (2023)

My paintings are made predominantly with pastels. They begin as charcoal rubbings that I go over with a watercolor wash, generating visual movements and subtle optical mixtures. I follow the traces that both ground and material have left behind, using dry pastels to tease out forms and rhythms until I arrive at a sense of balance. It is a visual balance – its colors, forms and compositions that give that space its structure. Yet, it is also not just that, as Rebecca Purdum once said, “What it looks like is just one small part of a much greater purpose.” When I am painting, these tangible things that I would so reflexively exploit become something else that floats between wanting to clarify what its material space holds, and knowing that such a thing is elusive and ephemeral, much like the powdered pigments that gives these paintings shape. 

  
Like Julie Methru, I am thinking of literal and abstracted space, and the emotional tonalities that we associate with such places and the events that pass through them. As it is in _Chendana_ and _A Lament_ that were named for their origins, I think of the lives of Georgette Chen and Giotto and the work they have left behind – memories in and of themselves of times long lost. Be they drawings of things, or a material impression, an emotional history is embedded into their visual presentation like a memory. And, like a memory shared that grows with each re-telling, it becomes more of an enduring idea than a past remembered, though we think of them as such all the same. 

A Lament

Das Unheimliche

Within the realm of my photography, I delve deep into the unspoken emotions, the hidden connections, and the profound vulnerability shared by two male friends. Through a unique project, I paint a vivid picture of their bond by capturing their embrace as if they are being watched. In this series, I use the interplay of daylight and darkness to create a poignant narrative. During the day, these friends stand apart, not looking at or touching each other—a portrayal of the societal norms that often dictate their interactions. However, as night falls, they come together, sharing a heartfelt hug that speaks volumes about the courage it takes to be vulnerable. This project challenges preconceived notions and societal expectations, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of masculinity, friendship, and the beauty of authentic connections. It's a visual dialogue that transcends the boundaries of words.
