My work explores themes of space, perception, and the intersection of technology and nature. I challenge the precise, technological, and often emotionless depiction of digital reality by embracing a quiet, minimalistic aesthetic of reduction and subtraction. My work also blurs the line between rationality and emotion, creating a dynamic interplay of geometric harmony, disharmony, figuration, and abstraction.
A key aspect of my practice is the fusion of woodcut printing with digital media. Transforming an image into an abstract binary code of positive and negative space, meticulously carved by hand, introduces a tension between tradition and technology. In an era dominated by synthetic visual filters and automated perception, I use the same digital strategies in woodcut, yet my final images remain analog—imperfect, tactile, and alive with the traces of craftsmanship.
I often focus on transient or undefined spaces, such as Unorte, a series on man-made, interchangeable places, or Wilderness, which translates landscapes into a digital language, resembling flickering screens. My latest project, Arcadia, explores the concept of idealized, imagined landscapes and computer-generated images, examining how mathematical structures and fragmentation can shape perception. Each woodblock print involves repetitive, instinctive carving, careful inking, hours of manual recurring pressing, and weeks of drying—making the process as meaningful as the final image.
