"I have painted my late grandmother’s room many times—throughout different seasons, hours, moods, and evolving stages of life. The space has become a personal touchstone, not only for its deep emotional significance but also for its endless potential as a painterly subject. Each version reveals something new—about the room, about memory, and about the way light interacts with form and feeling.

This particular painting is set in the evening, like some of my other interpretations, but it stands apart in its use of bolder color contrasts and heightened tonal drama. Where some earlier versions emphasized quietude and subtlety, this piece embraces the expressive potential of the hour—when the day gives way to night and the shifting light momentarily intensifies everything it touches.

A rich blue twilight enters the room from the window, casting strong, cool shadows that stretch across warm interior surfaces. The golden remnants of artificial light or late sun—perhaps a lamp or a sunset’s final glow—illuminate parts of the room in deep, saturated warmth. These two light sources—blue from outside and gold from within—clash and converse across the canvas, creating a visual tension that breathes life into the space. The resulting effect is a dynamic interplay between stillness and movement, cool and warmth, memory and immediacy.

The brushwork remains loose and expressive, characteristic of my approach, but the contrast in color temperature and value gives the composition added structure and emotional charge. Objects that may be familiar—a chair, a curtain, a framed photograph—are recast in new roles through light and shadow, becoming almost theatrical. This heightened palette reflects not just a visual choice, but an emotional one: an intensified sense of presence, a vivid recollection sharpened by time and feeling.

This painting, like the room itself, is filled with echoes—of someone once there, of daily rituals now suspended, of the intimate atmosphere that only memory can reconstruct. It’s about how places continue to live inside us, even as time moves forward, and how color and contrast can act as vessels for that remembered intensity.

Ultimately, this work is not just about a room—it’s about how memory glows and deepens over time. It’s about the evening not as an ending, but as a moment of emotional richness, where light and shadow become metaphors for love, loss, and the layers of a life once shared."

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
