CHROMATICS – Cadmium Red
Oil on canvas
200 x 200cm

When I paint the Chromatics, I work with multiple shades of colour in an almost Tai Chi-like body meditation. With broad brushes, my hand rotates freely around the circle, its radius determined by the reach of my arm, until something begins to vibrate within the colour — until I hear its inner hum, its tone. This is where seeing and hearing merge for me.

Cadmium Red brings me into strength. Into the body. It is a colour of being here. I invite the viewer to come closer, to stay with the colour and allow their own experience to unfold. Not simply to look at the red, but to enter it — and perhaps arrive at their own sense of: I am here. At this scale, the red becomes a presence in the room. It spreads warmth and energy and gives the space a strong sense of arrival. I see it in a private salon, an entrance space, a hotel lobby, or a meeting and conference room — places where people come together and where the room itself should feel alive, present and welcoming.

This work was part of Sound of Colour, presented at the European Cultural Centre in Venice during the 2024 Venice Biennale.

Product Description

In the Chromatics series, my focus is entirely on colour — more precisely, its effect. I want my paintings to become perceptual elements — subtly shaping atmosphere and altering how a space is perceived.

My work with colour explores its unfolding in space, encouraging viewers to immerse themselves in its vibrancy.

I work against a dark background that is never fully black, allowing the colour to breathe — warm, vibrant and gently held — as it moves into the surrounding depth through very fine, layered gradations. This approach enhances the sense of depth and movement within each painting.

These works are not only made to be looked at from a distance. The viewer is invited to come closer, to stay with the work and allow their own experience to unfold. The scale of the paintings encourages physical immersion, where the body can merge with the colour, not just see it.

I think of my paintings as fields of resonance, activated in the encounter between painting and viewer. Your movement, distance and attention complete the work.

My works live and function within space. They influence how a place is perceived and felt, subtly shaping atmosphere and giving a space its own voice.
