"Emerging Strata" Painting

My paintings focus on the surface as a field of interaction, not a finished image. They explore the balance between intentional gestures and unpredictable material responses. Surface conditions — absorption, texture, and flow — interact with paint density to create a visual field that never fully resolves. The work captures moments of tension between control and unpredictability, and inviting close observation, to reveal a subtle interplay of color and texture that changes with light and distance. In the ‘Accumulation’ series, layers are built through the repeated acts of layering and overturning paint. As oil and water-based materials repel each other, they produce unpredictable densities. Consequently, the surface becomes a physical record of time rather than a single, static decision. In the ‘Surface’ series, absorption and resistance coexist. Raw fabric draws in the paint while coated areas block it, creating a palpable tension between openness and closure. Rather than a uniform plane, the painting transforms into a field of shifting conditions. I am interested in structures that do not resolve. Instead of stability, my work holds a sustained state of imbalance - a quiet negotiation between intention and matter. Through the accidental marks of layering, I invite the viewer into a space of constant becoming.
