BAAM

My painting moves between illusion and reality. Perception itself appears to be an illusion: reality is fluid, immaterial, and always a construction of consciousness. Through transparency, superimposition, and chromatic condensation, I reveal the fleeting nature of appearances and make visible what otherwise remains hidden.

Figures—from baroque to manga references—oscillate between presence and dissolution, reminiscent of interfaces and digital surfaces. Historical references such as the baroque ideal of perfect representation become visible as fragile precursors of today’s self-staging: Instagram filters replace powdered wigs, digital feeds replace ceremonial paintings.

My works play with “cuteness” and kawaii aesthetics, not as irony, but to question social stereotypes and media constructions. They invite us to question seemingly stable categories, reflect on our own patterns of perception, and become aware of the non-dual reality in which all phenomena appear.
