Artist statement
In my artistic practice, I aim to explore the interplay between digital and analog creative processes, particularly within the context of formalism. Contemporary architectural drawings are often digitized for the pragmatic benefits this approach brings. However, despite the efficient capabilities of digital drawings, I am fascinated by the ‘loss’ of analog drawing. The subtle interaction between the digital and analog worlds in the creative process is the constant thread in my work.
My work reflects this fascination by creating paintings where visual elements are derived from my own computer-generated images and virtual sketches. Through the deliberate deconstruction and subsequent reconstruction of virtual objects, their original meanings shift, creating space for interpretation.
The artworks present an environment saturated with recognizable forms from nature, such as flowers and organic shapes. The flower, once a standalone subject, can evolve in my paintings into an integral part of architectural structures. Scale, shape, and texture of digital objects are removed from their conventional context, giving rise to new meanings. My artistic approach extends beyond presenting factual reality; instead, I introduce an imaginary world as a new reality.
A distinctive feature of my work is the transformation of digital objects, which do not require tangible materiality, consistency, thickness, etc., into artworks that possess texture, tangibility, and materiality. These digital objects conspicuously differentiate themselves from their real-world inspirations. My artistic practice challenges the viewer to explore the boundaries between the virtual and the real, inviting deeper reflection on the nature of creativity and perception in the era of digital transformation.
