Statement:

In a world where time hastens beyond itself, these works open a pause - a brief suspension that invites us to linger, to return to the ordinary mo- ments that so often pass unseen.

Here, the notion of presence is stripped of its rhetoric and becomes a lived condition unfolding through the quiet rhythm of repetition and the subtle tempo of everyday life.

Each work recalls that meaning does not reside in the distant horizon of grand aspirations, but emerges within the silent details of living.

These paintings neither withdraw from the world nor merely depict it; they propose another mode of seeing an act of dwelling within the frag- ile interval between the transient and the enduring.

Within this unassuming stillness, time eludes measurement; It ceases to be the external passing of moments And becomes a field for the awareness of being.
