The human figure is central to my work, appearing alone or within collectives. I position these characters as if performing on a theatrical stage, turning the viewer into an audience. While often rooted in interior situations, a shift is currently unfolding across my canvases: the figures are currently leaving these rooms, entering a space in between worlds. Here, the canvas acts as a threshold that is broken open, allowing viewers to submerge themselves within the scene. I playfully describe these works as "happy people paintings"- a nod to Bob Ross's happy landscape paintings - yet they carry a deeper emotional layer. Through a free painterly approach and intense color contrast, I create open situations rather than final answers, leaving each piece as an unfinished thought.
