An ongoing investigation of form underpins this practice,

with the circle as a recurring yet unstable point of departure. It is never fixed: it shifts, distorts, and takes on different roles within a fictional visual language. Sometimes it appears as a recognizable symbol, at other times as a structural element within the composition, keeping its meaning open and fluid.

At the core lies the interplay between form, line, and color. Drawing is essential: the focus is on how a line emerges through pressure, repetition, and interruption, allowing the act of drawing to remain visible. Rather than filling a surface, it is built up through rhythms and traces of movement, where each mark contributes to the overall tension of the image.

Color functions as an active force rather than a supplement. It can reinforce, disrupt, or even replace form, shaping how the work is read and experienced. Through contrast, repetition, and unexpected combinations, color generates a shifting dynamic that keeps the image in motion.

“They’re looking for meaning as if it were a Thing. As if it were a Girl,

required to take her panty off, as if she would want to do so as soon as the true interpreter comes along.

As if there were something to take off.”

― Marlene Dumas
