Collection — Reaching the Core
Reaching the Core is an ongoing collection that explores movement toward an internal center without assuming its stability or resolution. The works engage with the act of approaching rather than arriving, tracing gestures that circle, hesitate, press inward, or disperse before any form can settle.
Rather than depicting a core as a fixed point, the paintings reveal it as a shifting zone of tension, density, and resistance. Layers accumulate and erode simultaneously, allowing fragments, interruptions, and residual marks to coexist. What emerges is not clarity, but proximity — a sustained attention to what insists beneath the surface.
This collection remains open by nature. Each work operates as a partial approach, acknowledging that the core is never fully reached, only engaged through repeated gestures, pauses, and recalibrations. The paintings hold this ongoing movement, where form is continuously tested and reformed without closure.
Art TV
Ambient Art & Atelier
This YouTube space extends my painting practice beyond the canvas, offering a continuous visual presence designed for modern interiors and contemplative environments.
On my YouTube channel, I share long-form ambient videos composed of close-up details from my abstract paintings. These slow-moving visual sequences are created to be displayed on smart TVs, digital frames, or large screens, transforming everyday spaces into quiet visual fields.
Rather than presenting finished works, these videos focus on texture, gesture, and material in motion. Brush marks, layered surfaces, and residual traces unfold gradually, allowing the artwork to be experienced as atmosphere rather than image.
Art TV is conceived as a visual sanctuary — a way of bringing contemporary abstract art into living spaces without interruption, narration, or distraction. The videos are designed to loop seamlessly, offering a calm yet active presence that supports focus, reflection, and mindful living.
This channel invites viewers to discover my work through detail, duration, and repetition, offering an alternative way to engage with painting outside traditional exhibition formats.
