Project Statement
Concept and Method: Iteration as an Artistic Strategy
In my creative practice, the term “iteration” is transformed from a mathematical algorithm into a deliberate artistic strategy. For me, it is a path of image evolution through multiple repetitions, revisions, and the “cutting away of the superfluous” from the primary idea. Each new cycle of working on a composition allows for the transformation of a chaotic sketch into a verified geometric truth, where the result is as close to the ideal as possible.
Visual Language and Philosophy
My works are built on the principles of rigorous minimalism: Palette: I utilize a strict monochrome. Black and white serve as boundary states, in the space between which the structure is born.
Form and Scale: The works operate with clear geometric structure, balance, and rhythm. The large format of the canvases (predominantly 200×140 cm) transforms contemplation into a physical experience, forcing the viewer to feel the “weight” of each line and find their own “zone of tranquility” amidst the visual noise of modernity.
Background and Context
My method is closely linked to my professional experience as a restorer, accustomed to a layer-by-layer search for truth. It is a dialogue between classical structurality and radical minimalism, where a deep knowledge of the internal construction of objects allows for the creation of a concise language of the future.
The “ITERATION” project is a recording of the journey from the “spontaneous” to the “conscious,” where each work is the result of intellectual and emotional purification of meanings.
