Original Work

This piece blends painting and object, transforming the painterly gesture into a conceptual installation. The brush physically embedded in the canvas freezes time in an eternal “here and now,” suspending the creative act in its own becoming. The broad, fluid brushstroke becomes the protagonist of a frozen action, transformed from an ephemeral gesture into a sculptural presence.

The artist plays with the ambiguity between complete and incomplete, evoking the memory of the gesture and questioning the role of the object in the artistic process. The insertion of the brush breaks the two-dimensionality of the canvas, inviting reflection on the boundary between art, action, and matter.

"It’s never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
