Show Title: Quiet Days
My figurative oil paintings investigate the intricacies of light and color within everyday scenes of the city and landscape. While studying for a PhD in economics, I realized the limitations of rational models in capturing human experiences, prompting my shift to painting for a direct exploration of reality.
I discovered how mental models obscured the complexity of reality, prompting me to focus intently on my surroundings and uncover nuances in familiar places through repeated visits. This process challenges my rational mental models and encourages seeing without preconceptions.
The impressionistic and atmospheric nature of my paintings underscores the bittersweet transience of these moments, serving as a counterpoint to a society that prioritizes efficiency over sentimentality and data over lived experience. My work invites a reconsideration of societal models and notions of progress in the face of fleeting, meaningful moments.
