Painting and studio work — original abstraction, appropriation-as-learning, and an art-historical library kept open as a lifelong conversation.

AILIUR — Techno-Ritual Abstraction
An original abstract painting built from a dense lattice of arcs, grids, and dotted bands in a saturated red, viridian-green, and ochre-yellow palette. Forms read as part circuit board, part ritual glyph — a “techno-ritual” visual language packed edge to edge in an all-over woven field.

Cossacks Remix (after Kandinsky)
A reinterpretation of Kandinsky’s “Cossacks,” rebuilt with concentric ringed wheels, diagonal lances, and scattered dotted halos across a warm ochre ground. It keeps Kandinsky’s logic of marks-as-events but pushes the surface toward thick impasto texture and my own red/green/yellow color signature — between homage and appropriation.

Neo-Expressionism (inspired by Basquiat)
A process video documenting the making of a neo-expressionist painting in the lineage of Jean-Michel Basquiat — raw mark-making, scrawled symbols, crossed-out text, and high-contrast color built up in fast, gestural layers. The video form captures the urgency and revision a finished still would hide.

Perspective Drawing Study
A recorded perspective-drawing study working through vanishing points, horizon lines, and constructed depth on paper — a foundational technical exercise in building believable space by hand before any digital or painterly work.

Art-Historical Study & Reference Library
A curated library of art-historical masterworks I collected as study and source material — from Paleolithic cave painting (Lascaux) through Renaissance altarpieces (Gozzoli, El Greco’s “Opening of the Fifth Seal”), Persian ornament, Post-Impressionism, and Modernism (Mondrian, Matisse, Picasso, Chagall). These are not my authored pieces; they are the reference corpus behind the remix and appropriation works in this category.
