“In a Land of Hopes and Dreams” is my newest parametric work. This sculptural painting
unfolds across a rhythm of vertical planes, where the abstract landscape is never fixed but continuously shifts as the viewer moves. The piece resists a singular perspective, instead inviting the eye to wander and engage with transition, change, and the fluid nature of perception itself. Working within the parametric form is both technically demanding and deeply absorbing.
The process requires sustained attention, patience, and a willingness to surrender control to the physical logic of the structure. Each brush stroke must account for movement, light, and spatial rhythm, transforming the act of painting into a dialogue between intention and unpredictability.
Through this labor-intensive approach, the work becomes more than a flat image — it becomes an experience shaped by time, perception, and presence."
