When I created this piece, I wanted to explore the tension between form and abstraction. The profile of the figure emerged naturally as I layered textures and colors, almost like it was waiting to be uncovered. The swirling blues are meant to feel alive, like waves or currents, capturing a sense of movement and transformation.
I chose the black background to give the figure space to breathe, letting the contrast highlight the luminous energy of the blues. It felt important to me that the silhouette wasn’t overly defined—there’s something powerful about leaving room for interpretation, allowing the viewer to project their own thoughts or emotions onto it.
As I worked on it, I thought a lot about the connections between the human form and the natural world. To me, the layers represent the complexity of identity, how we’re shaped by so many overlapping experiences. This piece was as much about the process of discovery for me as it is about what it communicates to others.
The Importance of Arts, Culture & The Creative Process
When I create my artwork, my intention is to give others something that conveys a sense of absolute beauty, something timeless that can endure, perhaps even for centuries. That’s why I often use photographs of classical Greek or Roman statues in my pieces. These sculptures are deeply fascinating and mysterious; they have survived the passage of time and still captivate us today.
There’s something extraordinary about their ability to resonate with us across millennia. They embody a perfection and harmony that transcend their era, connecting with the human experience in a way that feels eternal. By incorporating these elements into my art, I hope to capture that same enduring beauty and offer viewers a moment of awe, just as we feel when we stand before these ancient masterpieces.
I believe this is what art is truly about: crossing through time. In figurative works, space isn’t present in the same way—it’s a flat surface, confined within the limits of the canvas, and often displayed in the same place for a long period.
This makes time the essential dimension of art. A painting doesn’t move, and yet it speaks to people across centuries, carrying its meaning, its beauty, and its message through the ages. That’s what I strive for in my work: to create something that can transcend the present moment, something that has the potential to be admired and felt far beyond my own lifetime. Art, in this way, becomes a bridge—a way to exist beyond the limitations of space and time.
