METAL DREAM

When I work with texture painting, I feel like I’m in dialogue with the material — it leads, I follow. This piece came from a thought about how entire inner worlds bloom quietly inside us. There’s no template here — just a palette knife, some construction glue, and a lot of patience. Fun fact: some texture artists joke that you can “see” these paintings blindfolded — just run your hands over them. I love that the gold here doesn’t scream luxury but rather adds a warm, soft glow. The highlights flicker like sunspots on old stone walls. This piece is for those who love subtle, non-obvious beauty. I see it as a heartbeat captured in gold.

SHADOW SPIRAL

I was keen to capture the dynamic energy of the spirals through bold acrylic brushstrokes. The interplay of black and gold creates a mesmerising dance of light and shadow, reflecting the complex twists and turns of life. Each swirl is a passion, a story that runs deeper into the painting, evoking emotions of curiosity and wonder. Displaying this piece at home will bring a vibrant, expressive pulse to any space, enriching it with a story of visual movement and contrast.

SHADOWS OF YESTERDAY

This piece emerged from my reflections on the hidden force pulsating beneath the surface of everyday things. I used gold as a symbol of eternity and light, applying lines with thin, almost calligraphic strokes to convey the very movement of life. At the center of the composition lies a vivid red accent, a kind of emotional nerve that draws the eye and holds one's attention. The impasto technique allowed me to create a relief-like, tactile surface that emphasizes the uniqueness of Ecuadorian light, which here in the Andes feels denser and more brilliant. Interestingly, the harsh Andean climate and high-altitude sun cause pigments to behave differently, giving the colors a special, almost primal depth. For me, this painting is a search for balance between the chaos of fine lines and the strict harmony of the golden background. It is filled with the warmth of my new home in Ecuador and is ready to become the energetic centerpiece of your interior. I believe that art should be more than just decoration; it should be a living dialogue between the artist and the viewer.

GOLDEN GRAVITY

When I painted this piece, I imagined light dancing across the surface like sunlight on morning dew. Seven metallic spheres — planets emerging from a chaos of golden drips. Each texture paste droplet took a week to dry: did you know this technique demands patience? Rush it, and the shadows “break,” losing their magic under angled lighting. No line here is accidental — even the splatters guide your gaze from highlights to shadows, like a spiral. Fun fact: 3D texture is a conversation between painting and sculpture. The canvas becomes a map where every ridge casts its own story.

GOLDEN CIPHER       

In this piece, I channeled the enigmatic beauty of whispers and shadows, using acrylic to capture the delicate dance between light and dark. The swirling forms and sharp lines emerge from a golden-hued fade, symbolizing the ever-present yet often unseen rhythms of nature and thought. This artwork is meant to bring a sense of intrigue and a whisper of untold stories to any space it inhabits, encouraging viewers to pause and ponder the deeper connections in their surroundings.

IN BETWEEN 

My new painting, “IN BETWEEN...” is an invitation to linger for a second in the space “in between.” Between wind and silence. Between line and color. Between light and darkness. Between the obvious and the hidden. Between peace and movement. Between the past and the present. Green, this eternal symbol of life and renewal, exists here in many nuances, as if breathing on the border of light and shadow. I sought to create a space where the gaze glides along these waves of color, finding its “in between” - between contemplation and reflection. A lonely tree, frozen in this shaky reality, serves as a kind of fulcrum, reminding us of the inevitability of transition, that everything is “in between” one thing and another. I hope this painting will become a window into this personal “in between” for you.                                                                        

“IN BETWEEN...” is not just a landscape. It is a state to which you want to return. Where everything is in its place. Where you can simply be.
