PENCKY - ARTIST

My work explores the relationship between gesture, material, colour and light. Through abstract painting, I seek to create an emotional atmosphere using the fewest means possible.

I work primarily on paper and canvas, experimenting with watercolour, acrylic, spray paint, printing and unconventional tools. The search for new tools and techniques is essential to my practice. I am drawn to the texture of paint, the traces left by gestures and the unexpected results that emerge through experimentation.

Light is not simply a way of illuminating my work; it becomes part of the work itself. By painting under different coloured lights, particularly blue light, I explore how fluorescent colours transform, intensify and alter the perception of a surface.

My approach is intuitive, gestural and deliberately economical. I aim to achieve more with less: fewer marks, fewer tools, less intervention, yet a stronger visual and emotional presence.

For me, painting is a process of discovery, balancing control and chance, presence and absence, structure and entropy. Each work captures a moment in this process, inviting the viewer to experience colour, texture and light in a direct and personal way.
