In my watercolour ‘Irises in the Bois de Boulogne before the rain’ you will see how nature is preparing for bad weather. The sky takes on a muted, leaden hue and the green of the foliage becomes more saturated, foreshadowing the imminent downpour. The irises, the protagonists of the painting, seem especially bright against the background of the impending darkness. It is a moment of silence and expectation, when the world freezes before the arrival of rain.

I try to use an interdisciplinary artistic approach in my work, combining different techniques to create a seamless dialogue between painting and sculpture. As an architect, I need additional volume in my works, making them a true spatial experience. My interest in developing a thematic composition in an interior suggests a desire to create an immersive environment where wall paintings and sculptures interact as a unified ensemble. The soft shimmer of watercolour provides a gentle, ethereal quality, creating a calming effect, whilst the plasticity of sculpture gives my work a tactile presence. The use of oil painting to achieve realism in surrealistic subjects demonstrates my and desire to evoke wonder and contemplation. This multi-faceted approach allows me to explore themes dynamically, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art and transforming the interior into a poetic, experience-filled environment.
