Fixed onto a canvas, the boat rests not upon a literal sea, but within an imagined, painterly one—constructed through a complex layering of impasto and translucent glazes. These paint applications form a richly textured surface: thick, tactile ridges give the illusion of rippling water in motion, while sheer veils of color drift over and between them like mist or memory. This interplay of opacity and transparency mimics the way light interacts with fluid in motion—suggesting depth, turbulence, and age.
The central motif of flowing stripes winds around the boat in carefully plotted patterns, simulating the visualization of fluid dynamics—those scientific renderings that describe how invisible forces behave in the physical world. These lines echo the paths of currents, eddies, and wake patterns, transforming the painting into a frozen moment of scientific beauty. Yet these patterns are not just data—they swirl with a sense of choreography, as if the laws of physics themselves are dancing around this child's toy.
This duality—between the rigid systems of science and the spontaneous joy of play—is at the heart of the composition. The paper boat becomes a metaphor for human curiosity: a simple creation launched into the vast unknown, guided by imagination but subject to natural law. The painting invites the viewer to see the world as both scientist and child, to appreciate the elegance in equations and the mystery in memory.
Ultimately, "Currents of Memory" fuses the intellectual rigor of scientific visualization with the poetic immediacy of artistic gesture. It speaks to the beauty of inquiry, the durability of play, and the fluidity of perception across disciplines and time.

For my graduation series of works I decided not to philosophize with the selection of motives and themes. I decided to paint intimate moments inside my house in which I was born and still live, and immediate surrounding, as this is what I know and expirience unrelentingly. Analogous to the often heard advice for writters "writte about what you know". If you don't find beauty in your immediate surrounding where you open your eyes in the morning, you will hardly find it anywhere, not in Venice, nor in Paris. Subject matter is close to you. For now, I paint the impression of what is in front of me, very close to me. And going closer and closer I plan to sometime paint what is inside of my mind. Meaning: full abstraction.
My painting, although currently still somewhat traditional and academic, partly because of...well, academic obligations, and partly because of nostalgic forces acting out my initial fascination with classical painting as a young boy, nevertheless contain sparks of my desire to liberate my expression, hints of my uncontrolled idiosyncratic movements. My notebooks are being rapidly filled with observations, logical conclusions, clear and concrete ideas that will stay in my mind as I gradually strip away the unnecessities from my painting and create by free play within and upon the fundamental ideas in the times.
Unpopular opinion: I think that originality is overvalued nowadays. Although it is a factor, a huge factor, undoubtedly, it's not THE factor. Immanuel Kant observed that nonsense can be original. "Craters allow quantum consciousness to harness misleading dealers of HDMI cables" is a perfectly valid sentence grammatically. Probably no one ever put those words in that order before. Truly original sentence. Nonsense, nevertheless. Dogmatic originality, as an end in itself, seems forced, inhibiting organic instances of original ideas, and neglecting other qualitative factors. Depending on criteria, when low, painting a stick man in the background of the copy of Mona Lisa could be considered original if no one did it before. On the other extreme of the spectrum, painting can not be original if it's oil on canvas. Blood on a goats wool? Now that may be somewhat original. Though an attempt at banalization, I consider it seriously on second thought. Granted, this opinion could very well be a product of a defence mechanism undervaluing my originality deficit. lol I have original ideas... they are just not realized yet haha
