Girl — Light on the Threshold. Painting

Art has been inseparable from my life since the very beginning. I did not come to it as a profession later in time — it was always present, a natural gift and a way of being. Over the years, this vocation was given structure through formal study in art high school and university, and it matured further through the long experience of directing my own gallery. Yet beyond training or career, my identity as an artist has always been rooted in a deeper calling: the need to let painting reveal what words cannot hold. The works presented here belong to an earlier current in that journey — explorations that moved through the great streams of modern painting, from the luminosity of Impressionism to the intensity of Expressionism, and the many variations they inspired. They are not imitations of schools, but authentic searches in which color, gesture, and vibration became my own language. Today, my practice unfolds in BËRTHAMA — A Philosophy of Revelation, where painting and philosophy converge in silence and presence. These earlier works remain part of the same river: vital currents that opened the path toward what I create now, and that continue to carry the resonance of presence into the present moment.
