"The Rabbit Within" Painting

Multilayered Reality

My work explores the relationship between figurative realism, geometric abstraction, and the expressive potential of materials. I see painting as more than an image on a surface—it is a dialogue between texture, light, form, and the physical presence of the artwork.

I work with oil, acrylic, mixed media, wood, clay, concrete, fabric, epoxy resin, and metal. Each material plays an active role in shaping the visual language of the work, adding depth, texture, and a tactile dimension.

Rather than breaking forms into geometric fragments, I integrate geometric elements into realistic compositions to reveal structure, volume, and light. Raised surfaces interact with changing light, creating a subtle sculptural quality that encourages the viewer to look more slowly and discover new details over time.

A recurring motif in my work is the hare, a symbol of gentleness and inner strength. Through symbolism, memory, and the relationship between hard and soft, warm and cool, I explore the tension between outward appearance and inner character.

By combining painting, relief, and sculptural elements, I create works that exist between image and object, where material, light, texture, and emotion become equally important parts of the visual experience.
