aka. VENA, Drawing & Painting

“I deconstruct discourses of time, space, memory, and colour perception by constructing temporal voids of floating tonal vibrations in flux parallel to emotional tones. The idea behind the question: what if we could perceive transmissions of colour frequencies within theoretical spaces evolving its individual cosmology. An expressive escape of solitude within five colours translated into abstracted landscapes. Colour cognition creates inner realities to perceive colour within memories and feelings, as the construct of time progresses, we witness the changes of energy within our everyday where the recall of memories morphs into shattered pieces. Perception depends on spatial context and saturated stimuli to adapt to retinal imaging, shaping behavior from signals received from the eyes. I’ve taken transitioning spaces and transformed it beyond its given space to build the illusion of a spatial void in limitless space, a state in which time has decelerated. To make visible that which has been made invisible to the human eye, creating a universe of dark matter energy where the property of empty space has the effect of anti-gravity in which everything repels from everything else. Forming the structure for vibrant sensorial tonal vibrations fluctuating through colour pockets where the standard laws of physics do not apply.”
