Small Research Series

My research unfolds through a sequence of twenty-part series.

Each series focuses on one theme and one formal or emotional territory that are explored through twenty subtle variations.

The works may look similar at first glance, but each small shift in form, shade, density, or structure changes the experience completely. I’m interested in how the slightest deviation influences perception; how tone alters mood; how a controlled gesture can produce endless micro-differences.

Together, the twenty works form an ensemble like variations in music or voices in a conversation where each one carrying its own tone while remaining part of the same field.

It is a long-term study of subtle change and how repetition creates the rhythm.

Tide Series

In this series, the stable field of vertical lines becomes a shore, a constant surface over which the blue-grey shifts like a tide. The colour moves in and out, sometimes soft and dissolving, sometimes heavy and atmospheric. Each piece captures a different state of this movement.

Shade Series

This series consists of twenty works where each piece is almost identical in structure - the same field, the same vertical strokes, yet every shift in shade creates a different emotional weather. A slight change in density transforms the atmosphere; each drawing becomes a study of an inner shift.

I’m interested in that subtle contradiction: how a surface that barely changes can still hold entirely different emotional textures. These works sit between clarity and fog, between control and diffusion, between what is fixed and what slowly drifts across perception.

Together, they form a sequence of quiet tonal events, changes so small they almost go unnoticed, yet strong enough to alter how the viewer feels. They ask for slow looking, for attention to what shades do to the mind, for noticing how much the smallest variation can shift an entire field of sensation.

Red Flow Series

This series explores how an unusual red can change the entire feeling of a line.

The works share the same structure, the same vertical field, yet every shift in the red’s shade creates a different emotional energy.

Riveflow Series

At first glance, nothing happens. But look long enough, and each line starts behaving like weather.

These small works come from my ongoing exploration of nature — not nature as scenery, but nature as behavior. Each fragment is a micro-event: a shift, a pressure, a fracture, a slow accumulation. The lines repeat, but they never truly repeat. The gesture stays the same, yet something inside it keeps drifting — the way a coastline slowly redraws itself even when the waves look identical.

I’m interested in that quiet contradiction: how controlled repetition can generate something that feels organic, almost alive. These drawings sit between intention and erosion, between what I direct and what escapes me. Together, they build a slow, cumulative movement — one that asks the viewer to stay a little longer than usual, to notice how a small deviation can reshape an entire field.
