About
With T!ME(s)*, I have developed a layered visual language situated at the intersection of classical painting,street art, paste-up, décollage, and découpage, now expanded through contemporary processes such as AI-based image editing and print techniques.Over the years, this has evolved into a distinct mixed-media practice in which diverse artistic methods converge and dissolve into a singular, unmistakable visual expression.
At the core of my work is the principle of layering.I often work with aged papers from very old books, newspapers or comics, applying them to the surface, reworking them, and partially removing them again.What emerges is a continuous dialogue between construction and erosion, revelation and concealment, preservation and transformation.Techniques overlap, influence one another, and gradually merge into compositions that appear as unified wholes - carrying the aura of paintings from another time.
The philosophy of Kintsugi is also deeply embedded in my practice.I regard cracks, damage, and traces of the past not as imperfections, but as integral elements of a work’s narrative. They lend each piece dignity, depth, and a renewed form of beauty.
Layer by layer, I add, remove, repair, and transform until the work reaches its own inner coherence. In this way, visual worlds come into being in which past and present, rupture and healing, chance and intention are brought into balance.My work revolves around time, memory, and cultural traces, inviting the viewer to look more closely, discover hidden connections, and move through time itself.
Best wishes to you..!
