Title: Between What Was and What Will Be
medium: mixed media finished with oil paint.
dimensions: 80 x 65 cm
Between What Was and What Will Be emerged during a period when I was experimenting a lot with material, composition, and visual language. In this work, various elements I was exploring at the time come together: figuration, architecture, flowers, and abstract layers.
For me, the painting is about an intermediate phase. Not really an end, but also not quite the beginning of something new. About searching, combining, and slowly feeling clearer about which direction to take.
The different components don't all need to be explained immediately. It's precisely the coexistence of softness, structure, and loose forms that makes this work interesting to me.
Looking back now, this painting feels like a transitional work. A moment just before my work began to become more personal and narrative in the Unconditional Love series.
This original work is supplied unframed and comes with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.
