Artist’s approach

Since 2008, Tehos has developed an ongoing exploration of verticality, examining its relationship with structure, gravity, perception, and memory.

Part of the Vertical Memories series, Persistances 01 explores the gradual disappearance of an image.

A bouquet of flowers, a recurring subject throughout art history, remains partially visible while dissolving into a network of fine vertical lines. These lines act almost like a silent force of erasure, progressively breaking down the image, line by line.

The composition moves between presence and absence, clarity and dissolution. The original image becomes fragmented and increasingly elusive, leaving behind only a fragile afterimage — the trace of a memory that is slowly disappearing.

Through this process, Tehos continues his exploration of verticality, not simply as a formal structure, but as a force capable of transforming, fragmenting and erasing the image.
