Collecting
A surface held in time
Each work begins in a physical process. Layers, resistance, interruption — gestures that are not entirely controlled.
What appears here is a direct continuation.
The images are developed through a dialogue between analogue painting, photography and generative systems.
They extend the original gesture, shifting it into a different space where memory, perception and structure begin to reorganize.
What remains is a trace of something lived, reconfigured into a new form.
Materials
All works are produced using high-quality giclée printing on fine art canvas.
— archival pigment inks (fade-resistant)
— museum-grade poly-cotton canvas
— designed for long-term stability
The prints are based on high-resolution image files, carefully prepared to preserve depth, tonal nuance and painterly texture. Subtle transitions, soft edges and layered structures remain visible in the final piece.
Production
Each work is stretched by hand and can be presented either:
— as canvas (unframed)
— or in a natural oak float frame
The oak frame introduces a quiet architectural boundary, allowing the image to remain slightly detached — hovering rather than enclosed.
To ensure faster delivery, lower shipping costs, and to avoid unnecessary customs fees, production is fulfilled through Printumo’s (Kopenhagen) trusted international print partners closest to the customer’s location.
On the Work
The series emerge from different points of origin:
— Aerial Gestures explores movement and suspension
— Drift Fields develops from analogue oil painting and unresolved states
— Utopia Walks constructs places that exist between memory and invention
— Shear Line focuses on tension, reduction and weighted presence
Across all series, the work moves between visibility and dissolution — between form and its disappearance.
Exhibitions
Since stepping into the public sphere in 2024, the work has been presented in several international group exhibitions:
- Casa del Arte, Spain — Moments in Motion (2026)
featuring Aerial Gesture 09
- CICA Museum, South Korea — group exhibition Breath (2025)
featuring Untitled, the original oil painting that later evolved into the Drift Fields series, alongside the video work Dysnopea, extending the practice into moving image
- Boomer Gallery, London — group exhibition (2024)
including First Memory (plaster on canvas) and Crown of Thorns (photographic work)
In addition, the work has been shown at Al-Tiba9 (Barcelona), an established contemporary art platform and publisher in Spain, in both publication and online format.
The publication A Like Artist – Volume 03 presents a broader selection of works across multiple pages, with Fracture 03 selected as the book cover.

About
For over two decades, my practice has evolved across painting, image-making and editorial work.
Originally trained in graphic design, with a focus on art books and catalogues, my work has always been shaped by the relationship between image, structure and sequencing.
The shift toward generative tools does not mark a break, but an extension.
It allows images to move beyond the limits of the hand — while still rooted in a physical, intuitive process.
What I am interested in is not the technology itself, but what it reveals:
how an image can emerge from a space between control and release.
Collecting
The works are available as carefully produced canvas prints in standard formats.
These editions are not limited, allowing the work to remain accessible while maintaining a consistent level of material quality and production.
Larger formats are produced on request and offered as limited collector editions.
These works are individually prepared, with increased attention to scale, presence and spatial impact, and may be numbered upon request.
All prints are produced using the same high-quality materials and processes, ensuring continuity across formats.
For inquiries regarding larger works, specific formats or collector editions, please get in touch.
