Ongoing Series (24 works)
This series depicts abstract animal eyes - enlarged, dissolved, and flooded with color. They belong to marine animals: whales, octopuses, turtles, and fish. Their gazes are the focus, their bodies dissolving into pigmented flows, delicate glazes, and soft transitions. Sometimes they are deep blues and violets, sometimes vibrant reds, turquoise, or luminous greens.
Each eye becomes a space: organic, awake, enigmatic. Surrounded by both stillness and movement.
Between these moments, small human figures appear - siluvian, groping, alone. They swim, dive, fall, and lose themselves in the vastness of the gaze that surrounds them. They encounter nature not as rulers, but as seekers.
The series questions the power dynamic between humanity and nature without explaining it. It plays with perspective, scale, and perception - and rejects clear boundaries.
The Eye of the Other tells of a relationship that is never entirely symmetrical. From a world that looks at us. From a sea that knows more than we do.
