The Meeting of Mathematics and Watercolour
I have always looked at the world through a mathematical lens. Fascinated by the hidden logic within forms and the precision beneath apparent chaos, I spent years searching for clarity within complexity. For me, to simplify has never been about reducing, but about revealing essence.
My encounter with watercolour marked a profound shift. What began as curiosity became a practice—a space where logic and unpredictability could coexist. I was drawn to the way water resists control, and how form emerges through a continuous dialogue between intention and chance.
Today, my personal journey and my artistic vision grow from the coexistence of these two ways of engaging with reality: Structure (clarity, relationships, reduction to essentials) and Flow (responsiveness, unpredictability, emergence). For me, they are no longer opposites, but two entry points into the same way of seeing.
A Practice of Seeing and Being Seen
This integration transformed painting into Mindful Watercolour—a slow creative ritual where water, colour, and presence meet. I chose to step away from the pursuit of technical perfection or flawless execution to focus on something deeper: learning a new visual language. Just like an apprentice in a studio, I had to learn the alphabet of watercolour before I could fully express identity on paper.
Each painting is an exercise in attention, a sequence of gestures where control softens into awareness. It is a space designed to quiet the mind, step outside of time, and dismantle the weight of perfectionism and constant productivity. Painting becomes a way to think less and perceive more.
Over time, this practice of looking deeply at the world turned inward, becoming an exploration of human identity. I realized that the process of seeing, when held with absolute attention, naturally becomes an experience of being seen.
This is the philosophy behind my work with presence, including my abstract portraits. When I encounter a person, a couple, or a family, my goal is to capture what lies beyond words—a rhythm, a quality, a movement of being. I translate this energy into simple forms and a limited palette. It is not a realistic likeness, but an emotional map, a visual distillation of essence.
Painting, for me, is ultimately an attempt to be myself with as few masks as possible — a way of connecting inner and outer worlds, and allowing them to meet on the paper.
My work is not about achieving perfection, but about entering a state where making becomes a form of presence.
