The painting process often begins with a draft image or motif, guiding the artist toward a specific visual outcome. My approach, however, departs from this convention—I rely on the intuitive movements of my hand, free from any predetermined visual plan. In the past, I created figurative works based on sketches, but I felt that it was merely a replication, so I moved away from it. This shift led me to focus on the act of drawing lines, which I found deeply compelling.
I have since moved away from thematic or representational painting, instead embracing the act of creating through lines alone. While my work is no longer bound to specific objects or ideas, I am still exploring what it is I am drawing within this sense of uncertainty. I accept this ambiguity as it is and express it without trying to define it, embracing the uncertainty as an integral part of my artistic expression. In this piece, I have left traces of my gestures by scratching into the surface of the painting.
