Artist Statement
I explore male identity and, through it, the formation of individuality. I am interested in the moment when a person and the image they present no longer coincide - between what a man shows the world and what exists beyond that image.
My practice grew out of twenty years of working in the male-dominated world of business. I observed men in situations of power, success, competition, failure, confidence, and vulnerability. I am particularly interested in men who are accustomed to having power and controlling how they are perceived by others.
In my painting, I create my own territory of interaction with this image. I choose men whom I perceive as charismatic, strong, beautiful, composed, sometimes almost untouchable. But once they enter the canvas, they enter a space where I determine the rules. I decide how they look, how they stand, how much space they occupy, what becomes visible, and what disappears.
Their power does not disappear. On the contrary, it is important to me to preserve it. I am interested in a subtle shift in power: the man remains powerful, but the final word belongs to the artist. This is my most personal form of interaction with the male image - a way of being close to power without submitting to it, while quietly determining the conditions of its existence.
In my paintings, the image is first perceived as familiar and attractive, but gradually begins to reveal something else. The viewer sees the man, his body, clothing, posture, details, and the space around him, and then encounters a question: where does the role end and the person begin?
Diptychs, triptychs, and polyptychs create an additional interpretive layer, allowing a single image to exist in several states at once. A limited palette, graphic lines, and signs interact with figuration and symbolic elements, creating a space between what is immediately visible and what remains concealed.
At the centre of my practice is the individual caught between role and identity, between the real and the constructed image, between what he presents to the world and what exists within.
My canvas is a territory where I can look at male power on my own terms.
A Territory of Absolute Artistic Power.
