Guesses About Reality
2025
Oil pastel, paper
This series is an attempt to capture memory, perception, and visual errors as equally valid components of reality. Each drawing is a naive fragment of an event, seen not with the eyes but through inner sensation. The world here is not rendered — it is guessed.
As a child, the artist had a vision of –6. Every object within sight was a blur, requiring interpretation. Was it a chair or a person? A cat or a bag? The eye would guess, and the brain would complete the image. This mechanism became a creative method: the drawings are built not from logic, but from feeling, where a house might be mistaken for a cloud, and objects emerge in the composition not from observation but from memory — a memory that suddenly becomes more vivid than the actual scene.
Color fields in these works are not separated but smudged together, as if the boundaries between objects have dissolved — in space, in memory, in perception itself. This is a bodily response to how we experience reality: not through sharp contours, but through emotional patches, color vibrations, and a longing for form. Perceptual mistakes become part of the narrative: at some point, an object “slips in” that wasn’t actually there, but suddenly felt important during the act of drawing.
These works are not about accuracy — they are about intuition, somatic guessing, and error as a way of truth. When we blink, the world disappears for a fraction of a second — and doesn’t always return exactly as it was. It is this flickering uncertainty that the artist tries to capture.
