This painting about the disintegration and reconstruction of the inner image of a person through color. Deep blue and violet create an atmosphere of night and introspection, evoking both silence and subtle anxiety.
Orange lines act as flashes of consciousness breaking through the darkness — symbols of inner tension and conflict. For me, this is a process of analyzing and dismantling emotions, memories, and states into fragments.
The silhouette emerging through the layers suggests that identity is never a fixed image, but a constantly shifting structure arising at the border of light and dark, conscious and unconscious.

Please note:
- Possible color deviations are due to light, monitor and camera.
- For buyers outside the EU, additional duties and fees may apply.

«Borderline States» imply movement from the center to the periphery and back, mastering the color space, comparing emotional background and color. I would like to achieve combinations and dynamics that directly and positively impact the articulation of emotional intelligence.
