mixed media paintings since 2016

Large-scale paintings examine the hidden structures that organize contemporary life: algorithms, networks, ranking systems, and invisible infrastructures of information. Drawing from computational logic, data transmission, and machine processes, the works translate abstract technological operations into physical, spatial, and material experiences. Rather than illustrating digital systems directly, the paintings approach them as psychological and political environments — unstable architectures that shape visibility, memory, movement, and perception in the algorithmic age.

Ranking System
2025 — Industrial enamel, aluminum powder and oil stick on canvas, 320 × 480 cm
The painting examines systems of visibility and suppression through a controlled spatial hierarchy. Reflective materials destabilize the distinction between foreground and background, implicating the viewer within the structure of selection itself.

Distributed Intelligence
2020 — Ink, acrylic mesh, UV print and epoxy on linen, 280 × 700 cm
The work draws equally from neural imaging, communication systems, fungal networks, and urban infrastructures. Meaning emerges through density, repetition, and distributed relationships rather than singular form.

Compression Artifact
2020— Oil, pigment transfer, airbrush and machine sanding on canvas, 310 × 410 cm
Information appears simultaneously preserved and degraded through processes of visual optimization.

Infinite Scroll
2016 — Acrylic, vinyl, mirrored lacquer and silk-screen on canvas, 340 × 900 cm
The work transforms the logic of the feed into an architectural experience of duration.
