Series

Working in series is a way for me to stay focused during longer creative processes. These collections represent my main body of work, often emerging from extensive preparatory studies and a deep exploration of a single theme.

Wilderness

2023-2025

Welcome to the "Wilderness" series, an exploration that redefines the boundaries of abstraction. These large-scale works, painted with acrylic on linen, capture the essence of these unique landscapes through a powerful and direct visual language. Each brushstroke is bold and unapologetically raw, reflecting the untamed beauty and grandeur of these natural wonders. This collection invites you to experience the landscapes in their most primal form, evoking a visceral connection to the wild and unrefined majesty of the world around us.

Landscapes I-XII

2021-2022

Landscapes I–XII marks the beginning of an exploration into landscape as pure expression—where structure dissolves and atmosphere takes precedence. These paintings were born from the first true experience of seeing nature not as fixed forms but as shifting impressions, light, and movement. Through abstraction, the landscapes became something beyond representation—a space where color and gesture capture the fleeting, the intangible. This series was a turning point, freeing the painting process from constraints and allowing the landscapes to emerge as reflections of perception rather than depictions of place.
