"Wounds of Time: Corrosion and Rebirth" Size 100 x 80 x 1,5 cm - Mixed Media on Canvas My work delves into the essence of contemporary art, merging minimalism with organic elements that evoke the natural world. Each painting captivates the viewer with subtle textures and earthy tones, creating a dialogue between corrosion and renewal, reflecting the beauty found in imperfection.

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, it celebrates the transience of life and the unique beauty etched into the scars of existence.

The earthy tones—accentuated by vibrant hues of rust and flashes of clarity—symbolize transformation and rebirth, offering a glimpse of renewal emerging from decay.
