My painting research aims to understand the phenomenology of our perception of space. Through the blossoming of images that sometimes disappear with a click, the ubiquity of temporalities, the permanence and evanescence of places and experiences, space slips through our fingers, impossible to trap, except perhaps through the practice of painting. On the surface of my paintings, I combine my lived experience of nature and architecture to create reflective, sensitive images.
