The title of the exhibition refers to change – to a variation, to something evolving and transforming.
I am fascinated by things that are barely perceptible or inherently elusive. Details that remain in obscurity, the shadows of darkness, moments of transition, and the fragility of recollections. I reflect on the problem of remembering: how things take shape in the mind, divide and settle into compartments of memory. A memory is always a memory of remembering – a slightly altered version of the original.
I do not sketch my works; instead, I work intuitively. I begin with a title and collect words – separate, individual ones – from conversations, music, and books. Something in the chosen words draws me in and continues to resonate. I write them down and return to them when I begin working.
The works emerge through a multilayered process. Beneath the surface, several stages may accumulate, even fully resolved pieces over which I nevertheless continue to paint. I cover, blur, excavate, destroy, and begin again. Eventually, something condenses and rises to the surface from beneath the layers.
Thematically, the works address time, evolution, and everything in constant flux – life in motion, the development of the human mind, and identity.
The works in the exhibition are versions of this moment – here and now as they are, tomorrow already something different.
