abstract illusions

A game, a mere figment of my imagination. Utterly funny, possibly crazy, but surely addictive. Once I start, I simply cannot stop the infinite duplication play. I turn, flip, transform colours, shapes of objects, scenes, and people. The outcome is a pure, abstract material composition. It is just an illusion…

the ice curtain

This work of abstract art explores the nature of perception. The lines create an illusion of depth and movement, but when viewed from a different angle, they reveal a hidden reality.

the continuous grasscut

An absurd endeavour in a circle. An endless repeat of a grass cutting task. Are simple chores a distraction of our human condition? Or is it pure humour on display? To be a hostage inside a box.

twin windows plot

Two windows, side by side, reflecting the world around them. Yet each window shows a slightly different perspective. A reminder that there are always two sides to every story, and that our perception of reality is shaped by our own unique experiences.

the hypnotist

the blue eye

A portal to another world, a window to the soul. The blue eye gazes out at us, its depths unfathomable. What secrets does it hold? What stories could it tell?
