MYTHOLOGY
MYTHOLOGY & CONTEMPORARY ART
GREEK MYTHS
My fascination with Greek mythology does not stem from a taste for ancient storytelling, but from a search for underlying structures that transcend time. In it, I find an explanation of the world: invisible forces, balances, and tensions that I translate into painting as one constructs an architecture.
Mythological figures then cease to be characters and become principles—archetypes that structure society. In my work, the body, patinated stone, and colour enter into dialogue with these forces, sometimes even dissolving into them. Painting thus becomes a way of questioning our place within a larger order, between heritage, transformation, and becoming.
COSMOGONY
My fascination with cosmogony stems from a rejection of simplified narratives about the origin of the world: I seek a more elevated logic at work behind the emergence of the universe.
Ancient myths and contemporary theories are not opposed. Each, in its own language, describes the same attempt to grasp emergence from chaos. I see in them a forming architecture, made of invisible forces, ruptures, and unstable balances that I translate into painting.
Painterly matter then becomes a field of experimentation, where light, colour, and form reenact these primordial dynamics. To paint is to probe that elusive instant in which something comes into being, where the world takes shape without ever fully settling.
