HOME WITH ME

These twelve semi-abstract oil paintings trace the outlines of a home that never came into being. They reflect a space once carefully envisioned — an apartment prepared with care, I once planned to call home — my first real attempt to root myself in a space that felt like it could hold me. However, I left the country before the renovation was complete, with no plans to return. Unable to take it with me, I turned to painting to catch this «home feeling». 

Through transparent layers of oil and closely related hues, I attempted to rebuild an architectural memory of the space — intimate corners imagined but never inhabited. It was the loss not only of a place but of the possibility it once held.

Working on the project became a way to acknowledge that — to sit with the absence, to stay close to what I had hoped for without clinging to it. In this act of remembrance and acceptance, something softer began to emerge — something resembling hope.
