"I have returned to painting my late grandmother’s room many times over the years—in different seasons, under varying light, and with shifting emotional perspectives. Each painting becomes a quiet act of remembrance, a way of revisiting not only a space but a presence that once filled it. This particular version stands out to me as the most grounded in realism, especially in terms of color. While my brushwork remains expressive and loose, in keeping with my natural painterly instinct, the tones here are more restrained—muted, closer to the actual colors of the room as they appeared on a clear, quiet morning.

The palette is composed of soft beiges, cool greys, faded pinks and warm off-whites, reflecting the wear and warmth of fabrics, wallpaper, and aged furniture. These local tones, though subdued, hold emotional resonance—they are the colors of memory unembellished, observed with honesty and tenderness. The morning sunlight, bright and slanting, pours in through the window and illuminates the space with gentle clarity. It defines the contours of the furniture and casts long, subtle shadows, highlighting the textures of woven fabric, polished wood, and peeling paint.

In this light, everything seems touched by a kind of grace—simple, quiet, and profoundly human. There is no theatrical drama in the scene, just the presence of light moving through an empty room, gently activating objects that once belonged to someone dear. It is the kind of beauty that only reveals itself through stillness and familiarity, through the act of paying attention.

Though this painting leans more into realism than some of my other interpretations of the same space, it still carries the emotional atmosphere that pervades all of them. It is not simply a record of appearance, but of feeling—a moment of intimacy, both visual and emotional, suspended in paint. Through this work, I honor not only the memory of my grandmother, but also the enduring presence of the space she once inhabited—a space that continues to echo with light, texture, and love."

For my graduation series of works I decided not to philosophize with the selection of motives and themes. I decided to paint intimate moments inside my house in which I was born and still live, and immediate surrounding, as this is what I know and expirience unrelentingly. Analogous to the often heard advice for writters "writte about what you know". If you don't find beauty in your immediate surrounding where you open your eyes in the morning, you will hardly find it anywhere, not in Venice, nor in Paris. Subject matter is close to you. For now, I paint the impression of what is in front of me, very close to me. And going closer and closer I plan to sometime paint what is inside of my mind. Meaning: full abstraction.
My painting, although currently still somewhat traditional and academic, partly because of...well, academic obligations, and partly because of nostalgic forces acting out my initial fascination with classical painting as a young boy, nevertheless contain sparks of my desire to liberate my expression, hints of my uncontrolled idiosyncratic movements. My notebooks are being rapidly filled with observations, logical conclusions, clear and concrete ideas that will stay in my mind as I gradually strip away the unnecessities from my painting and create by free play within and upon the fundamental ideas in the upcoming times.
Unpopular opinion: I think that originality is overvalued nowadays. Although it is a factor, a huge factor, undoubtedly, it's not THE factor. Immanuel Kant observed that nonsense can be original. "Craters allow quantum consciousness to harness misleading dealers of HDMI cables" is a perfectly valid sentence grammatically. Probably no one ever put those words in that order before. Truly original sentence. Nonsense, nevertheless. Dogmatic originality, as an end in itself, seems forced, inhibiting organic instances of original ideas, and neglecting other qualitative factors. Depending on criteria, when low, painting a stick man in the background of the copy of Mona Lisa could be considered original if no one did it before. On the other extreme of the spectrum, painting can not be original if it's oil on canvas. Blood on a goats wool? Now that may be somewhat original. Though an attempt at banalization, I consider it seriously on second thought. Granted, this opinion could very well be a product of a defence mechanism undervaluing my originality deficit. lol I have original ideas... they are just not realized yet haha
