Mutual Reception
A painting of relation before hierarchy. Mutual Reception gathers pattern, body, fruit, diagram, and cosmology into a field of reciprocal forces. Forms echo, exchange, and depend on one another, allowing meaning to emerge through structure,... More
Painting
Fern Flower
A diptych-like oil painting where myth becomes atmosphere: a hidden flower, a night search, a form almost found.
Drawing
Bush
A durational graphite drawing where organic density, restraint, and repetition form an eroded field of attention.
Painting
Medusa
A large-scale oil painting where looking becomes dangerous: myth, body, water, and cosmos coiling into one field.
Painting
Nexus
A small oil painting on canvas, structured like a charged knot. Nexus pulls spiral, seed, current, and diagonal force into a compressed field where movement gathers, folds, and returns.
Painting
Rivulet
An oil painting where the image leaks into being. Rivulet holds stream, profile, shell, moon, wound, and landscape in a pale atmospheric field cut by red marks, drips, and sharp white lines.
Painting
Vessel
A large oil painting on canvas that feels like a body protecting a secret. Vessel gathers shell, fruit, muscle, chamber, husk, and organism into a dense diagonal form, where colour becomes both pressure and protection.
Painting
Exalt
A small painting with the force of an omen. Exalt gathers glowing pods, red diagonals, crescent folds, and embered light into a charged field where bloom, body, vessel, and symbol almost become one.
Painting
Over
A body-scale oil painting exploring chromatic intensity, transformation, and the threshold where beauty becomes pressure.
Mixed Media
Conception
An egg tempera painting on wood panel exploring genesis, emergence, ritual materiality, and the first moment when form begins to take shape.
Painting
Maple Turning in the Spring May Breeze
A watercolour work on paper exploring atmosphere, seasonal change, restraint, and perceptual flow through recurrence, diagonal movement, and looped structure.
Painting
Ancestor Cult
A painting that feels like an inherited code. Ancestor Cult transforms Ukrainian embroidery and ornamental pattern into a dense, ghostly field where memory, protection, ritual, and repetition become structure.
Mixed Media
Seed
An egg tempera painting exploring origin, material transformation, and symbolic cycles of growth.
