Absence of the host, 2026

200 x 150 cm

oil on canvas


This painting is a self-portrait. In doing so, I try to get into my subject symbolically, into myself. The leathery surface reflects the impenetrable exterior, in which the wound-like self settles in wonder. In a way, the work is a mother whose approval the child seeks and wants to be seen without success.
