"Ode to Joy" Painting

My practice emerges from the tension between a longing for the ideal and an acceptance of the imperfection of the real world. I begin each work from an intuitive impulse — a raw accumulation of sensations that manifests through color, rhythm, and shape. Gradually, this initial chaos is structured into a coherent composition, where the search for harmony becomes a central process. I intentionally avoid analyzing or verbalizing emotional states. For me, both words and images can impose limitations. Color and rhythm carry a deeper form of truth — one that cannot be explained, only experienced. This is why I work with abstraction as a direct channel from the artist’s unconscious to that of the viewer. When engaging with figurative compositions, I preserve the same principles. Enhanced geometrization, flattened forms, and a free approach to color allow space for intuitive and unconscious impulses, maintaining a balance between structure and openness.
