OTOMYS: Your upcoming art exhibition, Feeling into Form, expresses a shift from the cerebral to the visceral in your creative process. How do you navigate this transition?
OTOMYS: In your statement, you mention that your paintings are "inner landscapes" that evolve through layers of paint. Could you describe how this process reflects the themes of searching and questioning that you explore in this exhibition?
OTOMYS: Your work often contrasts the simplicity of forms with a complex emotional depth, echoing influences from both historical and modern masters. How do you balance these elements in your current body of work?
OTOMYS: The exhibition explores both detail and abstraction, drawing from your surroundings while allowing remembered scenes to evolve. How do you decide which elements to retain and which to let dissolve into abstraction, and what does this process reveal about your relationship with the landscape?
OTOMYS: Your paintings are described as vessels that hold experiences and emotions. How do you hope viewers will engage with these works? What kind of dialogue or emotional response are you aiming to evoke through the exhibition?
