LIMEN is a subtle threshold between what has been and what has yet to emerge. In this mini collection of 10 works, my artistic exploration undergoes a moment of transition: moving from more figurative, detail-rich forms toward a more essential language, where the mark becomes a figure and the figure dissolves once again into the mark. Each painting is a step in this metamorphosis, a fragment of a constantly evolving creative journey.

 

The character of LIMEN lies in its tension between presence and absence. Predominantly female portraits barely emerge on the surface, layered with oil paint, bitumen, gesso, and cement. They are faces or presences subtly hinted at, born more from subtraction than addition, from the silence of a reduced and contrasting palette. Some works appear as primitive signs, others retain traces of figuration, yet in all of them the material vibrates with an intimate, primordial force.

 

This collection speaks of the need to touch, to feel the texture, to create a tactile dialogue with the viewer. LIMEN is drama and melancholy, a thread linking the past to a new vision of the future.
