I celebrate chance and mystery. Dark Room emerges from the impulse to look beyond appearances and uncover what lies beneath the surface. I welcome the unexpected without choice or censorship, allowing that to guide the pictorial process.

I begin with dark, textured abstractions, layering liquid media on canvas or paper. I also work on untreated canvases once used to protect the floor of my studio, marked by accidental stains and the passage of time. From these surfaces, an intimate dialogue unfolds. After a period of observation, suggested forms emerge—shapes that ask to be revealed. I then intervene with dry media (pastels, oil sticks, wax pencils), accompanying their emergence without imposing a fixed narrative.

In this way, I see myself more as a mediator than a creator. The resulting paintings are inhabited by hybrid, enigmatic beings: fragments of a veiled narrative that whispers rather than declares.
