The Wall

The Farmer

Unresolved

Figurative painting appears here not as representation, but as a field of pressure.

The works are built through confrontation: with material, with history, and with the gaze that tries to stabilize what refuses to remain stable.

Classical structures persist, but they are forced into friction. Control is present, yet constantly threatened. Figures do not illustrate ideas; they carry weight. They absorb tension until form, gesture and matter begin to fail.

What seems solid proves unstable. What appears calm contains strain. Painting advances by erosion rather than resolution, leaving traces of force, resistance and interruption.

This is not a sequence of images to be read, but a condensed space where conflict accumulates.

Meaning does not precede the experience.

It emerges only after crossing it.
