Images of people, rituals, and common symbols in public space
These paintings explore the human presence in shared environments—both sacred and mundane. From religious figures to urban archetypes, the works examine how public symbols reflect social structures. I’m interested in the tension between intimacy and spectacle, devotion and repetition.

"The Origin Story" was inspired by a personal encounter with a young migrant whose life had been shaped by displacement and survival. Surrounded by fragile paper boats, the figure evokes the dangerous journeys undertaken in search of safety and a new beginning, while reflecting on how origin, memory, and loss remain part of identity.

"Unrestrained Freedom" reinterprets the Statue of Liberty as a symbol threatened by rising sea levels. The painting reflects on the paradox that unrestrained human freedom - expressed through unchecked consumption and environmental exploitation - can ultimately erode the very freedoms it seeks to preserve. While humanity continues on its course, the waters keep rising, and freedom itself begins to disappear.

"The Mask" places the Thinker as a solitary figure wearing a diving helmet and blue surgical gloves among ancient Greek ruins. The painting connects thought, isolation, and protection across historical time, suggesting that fear, separation, and human vulnerability transcend individual eras and accompany humanity throughout history.

“Veni, Vidi, Mori” reflects the tension between presence and disappearance, rendered through layered encaustic textures and stark tonal contrasts. The composition suggests a moment suspended between arrival and dissolution, where form and energy both assert and withdraw.

"Pietà Moderna" reinterprets the public memorial sculpture Mother and Child by András Kocsis in Budapest's IV District. Originally created to commemorate the victims of the First World War, the monument becomes a contemporary reflection on care, loss, and human vulnerability. Through layered encaustic textures, the painting extends this historical dialogue into the present, connecting public memory with enduring human experience.

“Photosynthetic City” imagines an urban landscape transformed by light, where structures and organic forms merge into a single radiant system. The encaustic and shellac-burn layers create a pulsating, almost living surface shaped by heat and energy.
