"The "Quantum Echoes" series is for me a record of the energy I really feel - the inherited one, but also the one I create myself, consciously or unconsciously. I often think about the fact that inheritance doesn't end with memories or family stories. It vibrates in our decisions, sensitivities, tensions, desires. When I paint, I feel that I am touching that thin line between what was and what I want to pass on. It's an act of responsibility for me: to filter what I've received and give back to the world what has the power to build up, not hold back.
Color is my first language here. Color is where the energy starts to become visible - where it can take shape, rhythm and intention.
Yellows bring me a sense of clarity; blues open up space; reds bring courage and movement; intense hues remind me that change is always possible. Sometimes it's the color that appears first, and it's the color that tells me where to go next. Other times it's the line that steps forward - as if it wants to show itself which echo is ready to ring out on the surface. The undulating lines are for me a record of the flow - of what rolls through us, what feeds us, what transforms us. When I create these sequences, I feel that I am working
with a movement that lasts more than one generation. I believe that the energy we pass on - to our loved ones, to the world, to space - matters. And that if we fill it with clarity, awareness and strength, future generations can build something better on it. This is simply my way of looking at the world: to look for not only memory, but also possibility in energy.
I would like my paintings to work in space like driving structures - ones that stimulate, organize, strengthen. So that they create an environment conducive to action and change. So that the person who sees them feels even a subtle movement within themselves. One that can be the beginning of something bigger.
"Quantum Echoes" is a series that explores the relationship between the energy of inheritance and the energy of action. It presents a visual record of intergenerational echoes that are constantly transformed by color, rhythm and optical dynamics. The intense palette becomes an activating tool, while the undulating structures enhance the impression of movement and resonance. This is a series that shows that inheritance can be a creative process: an impulse that, filtered through consciousness, becomes the foundation for change and development." - PI SQUARE
