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.
Drawing
Bush
A durational graphite drawing where organic density, restraint, and repetition form an eroded field of attention.
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
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
Fern Flower
A diptych-like oil painting where myth becomes atmosphere: a hidden flower, a night search, a form almost found.
Installation
Fruits in the Night, Installation View I
A solo exhibition installed as a nocturnal field of colour, pattern, and transformation. Large-scale oil paintings anchor the room, while smaller works extend the rhythm of fertility, growth, and return.
Installation
Fruits in the Night, Installation View II
A wide installation view showing the exhibition as a complete spatial composition, where dense painting, works on paper, and open space create a rhythm of expansion and pause.
Installation
Installation View with Coloured Light
A spatial installation where red and blue light extend the paintings’ chromatic tension into the room.
Installation
Installation View: Mutual Reception and Fern Flower
An installation pairing a large relational field with a smaller atmospheric diptych, placing cosmology and longing side by side.
Installation
Installation View: Rivulet, Nexus, and Exalt
A final critique installation where three paintings hold distance, pressure, and relation across the room.
Installation
Installation View: Vessel and Rivulet
A final critique installation pairing bodily density with atmospheric dissolution under neutral light.
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
Medusa
A large-scale oil painting where looking becomes dangerous: myth, body, water, and cosmos coiling into one field.
Painting
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
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
Over
A body-scale oil painting exploring chromatic intensity, transformation, and the threshold where beauty becomes pressure.
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.
Mixed Media
Seed
An egg tempera painting exploring origin, material transformation, and symbolic cycles of growth.
Painting
Sitting Bug
A small organism becomes a solar event. Sitting Bug transforms insect, seed, shell, and flame into a charged field of yellow motion, where the body appears both fragile and radiant.
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.

“I make paintings for the moment before recognition, when form is felt before it is fixed. In oil, images gather through glazing, abrasion, concealment, and revision, holding shells, seeds, vessels,...” [More]
