About the Artist Back to Gallery

Work made with marker on thin brown paper, usually in two colors. the drawing appears twice and opens as a mirror image from the center.
The duplication is clear, but the repetition is not identical—it appears only as an echo, with variations, omissions, and additions. The work is the unplanned result of drawing on paper intended to mark a process of searching. Inspired by Giacometti’s drawings, the act of marking the search becomes essential, and the drawing is not resolved into something concrete. It remains in an in-between space—between figurative and abstract, between the concrete and the non-concrete—allowing room for movement within that range.
