Remembrance explores the persistence of internal movement after an initial convergence has taken place. The painting does not depict memory as recollection, but as a residual force, something that continues to act beneath the surface, even after form has shifted.
Gestural lines gather and re-emerge around a dense central zone, suggesting a return rather than a progression. Layers accumulate without resolving, allowing marks to overlap, hesitate, and repeat. The surface holds these repetitions as traces, not as symbols, maintaining tension without narrative closure.
Situated within the ongoing collection Reaching the Core, Remembrance approaches the core not as a destination, but as an active site of recurrence. The work remains open, holding the quiet intensity of what insists, lingers, and refuses to fully dissipate.

Art TV
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.
