Through the forced co-operation between "emptiness" and "fullness", a united chaotic shape is formed. The explosive overall of the artwork contradicts the general process of the production, as it requires disciplined and exploratory design. Based on the deformation and segregation of the greater form, the creation of the "whole" depends on the creation of the "part".
As the paintings are consisted by alternate layers of resin and countless painting strokes, the overall artwork creates the illusion of a 3D painting. Due to the nature of the medium, the outcome is a shiny and reflective surface, the aim of which is to mirror the viewer and make him part of the artwork.

Inevitably influenced by the superfluous images appeared on social media and the consumption of information, I create abstract paintings on large scale canvases, aiming to interact with the viewer and turn his passive vision into an exploring tool of experience. Although I am inspired from the fast-paced outside world, the artwork ends up characterizing the inner world: a multifaceted, embossed and illusionary world where balance and chaos co – exist in harmony.
