My work explores the metaphysical dimension of aesthetic experience.
As a philosopher, I have long felt the unease of not finding answers to the great metaphysical questions through thought alone. This tension has led me to seek solace in art. After a period of abstract expressionism followed by a conceptual, multimedia phase, I chose—over a decade ago—to move away from all forms of representation, whether figurative or abstract.
I aim to create works that do not speak but present. Where the image truly operates, neither meaning nor intention is required: only presence matters.
In my paintings, windows—openings or cutouts—structure the composition. They release the gaze from interpretation, absorb the representative function, and open an inner space. Immersed in the work, the viewer does not forget the great existential questions that remain unanswered, yet through the act of perception itself, those questions lose their sharpness. Absence thus becomes a key to presence—the presence of the moment perceived, here and now.
This selection of works continues that ongoing inquiry into the power of art to offer a metaphysical form of solace and awareness.
