I examine the fusion of traditional and digital techniques, focusing on transforming abstract ink and acrylic sketches into large-scale prints. My process begins by isolating minute details, marks evoking landscapes, planets, or ethereal figures, which I enhance digitally, merging paint’s tactile flow with technological distortions.

From these fragments, I construct narratives that animate each work, exploring worlds hidden within the artwork itself. This approach, subtly informed by Walid Raad’s play with fabricated truths, probes the fluidity of reality in a digital age, where the line between fact and fiction blurs.

A pivotal visit to the Van Gogh Museum, where I observed his brushstrokes magnified, reshaped my practice. It drew my attention to the unseen beauty within sketches’ details, urging me to look beyond the whole and uncover stories in the smallest elements. My background in painting and photography underpins this method, aligning with contemporary hybrid media trends that bridge analogue and virtual realms.

Occasionally, I delve into figurative painting as a side practice, drawing on Basquiat’s bold style and Richter’s abstract escapes to create vibrant, personal works. These pieces, though distinct from my narrative-driven prints, complement my broader exploration of expression through paint.

My primary work invites viewers to peer into these intricate details—speculative realms born from overlooked traces. By blending the organic with the digital, I encourage a rethinking of how technology can reveal the unseen, not merely enhance it. This dialogue between the tangible and the imagined seeks to uncover the latent potential within each sketch, offering a space where viewers might find their own interpretations of the stories I weave, grounded in the artwork’s own language.
