Lightscapes
Following the long exploration of urban nightscapes, the Lightscape painting series emerges as a quiet continuation — a gradual transformation from darkness toward radiance. The nocturnal contrasts dissolve, giving way to a new realm of contemporary painting built entirely on the presence of light.
Here, light is not merely a subject, but the very essence that defines both what is painted and how it is painted. It shapes the scene, softens contours, and dictates the rhythm of the painterly gesture. Through its influence, the visible world becomes translucent, subdued, and contemplative — an atmospheric painting language rooted in silence and perception.
A characteristic feature of these works is the presence of a light haze or mist, a delicate veil through which shapes are barely discernible. Reality seems to float — its contours are suggested rather than defined. Light both conceals and reveals: it hides the world behind its glow and at the same time reveals its hidden atmosphere, making each scene a meditation on light and perception.
In these ephemeral paintings, fragments of reality are transformed into timeless, anonymous visions. They evoke silence and tranquility — more of a contemplative encounter than a descriptive one. Each painting requires the viewer to quiet down to a certain extent in order to focus inward, which contrasts sharply with the excessive stimulation of the digital world of images.
Lightscapes offer an alternative to visual smog: calm, minimalist compositions that speak through vibration, transparency, and absence. They capture fleeting states — moments when light itself becomes landscape and painting becomes the bearer of the ephemeral, yet at the same time an echo of the eternal.
Ultimately, these works suggest that seeing does not mean grasping, but dwelling — remaining for a moment in silent radiance, where form and light, perception and memory merge into a single continuous moment.
