Unrolling the sky.
I recorded a video of the sky and projected it onto a roll of paper 150cm wide and 4 meters long, and tried to capture its movement and feeling with charcoal.
The idea of this piece is that by extending its width, it could continue forever. I could draw an infinite roll and it would never be the same.

In the city, the weather and its skies become of the few, yet strong, connection points that we still have with nature. But in the city there are not many clean clear building-free skies.
For these series of drawings I cut away the buildings that didn't allow me to see an open sky.

Configuration (2018).
Ink on silk, oil on unstretched canvas.
For this exhibition I brought my paintings to the space to create the landscape and to bring forth the feeling of raw nature invading the gallery space. The viewer is transported to the landscape, and became part of it. The perception of the viewer changed while moving around the space.
I used recycled wood and stretchers to create the feeling of the permanence of nature, juxtaposing with ink medium to express the more ephemeral elements of nature: water in constant movement and change. In contrast, I painted the sun with oil on unstretched canvas to embody density, strength, as well as isolation.
