Second Silence

Paintings Series | Oil on Canvas

Years: 2014-2019

The "Second Silence" series is deeply connected to the man in nature, as its predecessor. However, it is more vibrant and intense in color than "First Silence," yet still maintains the hypnotic, dream-like quality of the earlier works. The landscapes are atmospheric and melancholic, effortlessly eliciting emotions. To shift the viewer's focus from the natural landscape, I have limited the familiarity of forms in the compositions. This approach invites the viewer to explore their own fantasies and imagination. If you feel overwhelmed by mass pop culture and seek comfort in symbolism, silence, and mystical wanderings, then "Second Silence" is the perfect fit for you.

As human beings, we all have a distinct set of knowledge and ideas within us that distinguishes us from one another. This reserve of preconceived notions can awaken within us and entice us even before we are born. It is as if we have a natural inclination towards something beyond ourselves. For me, this magnetic attraction towards my passions is what makes me feel alive and motivates me to pursue them.
