Return to Painting

"Return to Painting" is the title of the project, but it's also a journey that takes me back to my artistic experimentation in the previous 20 years. Each artwork, like the one presented here, is a unique piece and represents the genesis of a lengthy process. Every individual artwork requires 20 to 30 days to complete. The extended process aims to celebrate the possibility of recreating something that, at first glance, may appear to be a generative artwork but is actually entirely handmade. Initially, I sketched a drawing on paper using charcoal and pencil. The drawing was then transferred to Photoshop, where it was destroyed, reworked, and shaped with graphic effects and textures. The artwork features the presence of abstract, amorphous shapes that intersect with the three-dimensional structure and can resemble icons or elements found on a computer desktop.
