METAMORPHOSIS

The process of transformation -  Metamorphosis is the main theme in my recent work. Metamorphosis, not only depicted but enacted, a metaphor of the art process itself. The series involves paintings and sculptures and how they relate to each other.

The paintings’ characters experience a transformation and the painting as a form is also being literally transformed, reborn into another medium.

This cyclical process—painting becoming object, object returning to haunt the painting - reflects the core of my art practice: transformation as both subject and method, an exploration of fragmentation and reconstruction, both in material and meaning. Built from cut-up oil paintings—once complete, now deconstructed—the sculptural pieces embody a process of unmaking and remaking, forming a new identity from pieces of a lost past.

Inspired often by literature and philosophy the work echoes the metaphysical world, where the boundaries between dream, memory, and reality are blurred yet connected.

The objects are made by cutting up old oil paintings and weaving them into a new, three-dimensional form. What was once flat and finished is now transformed - reborn as something entirely different. It emerges from the interplay between destruction and transformation, between the flat image and the 3D form, between the outer and the inner self. 

In doing so, it enacts a ritual of metamorphosis: the two-dimensional is not discarded, but woven into three-dimensional presence, refusing the finality of completion and instead embracing continuity.

The woven structures suggest fabrication, concealment, and reconstruction - metaphors for distorted truth and layered identity.
