About the work

I have been working on a collection of screen captures sourced from the internet, movies, and moving images. I view these screenshots as sources of inspiration. Subsequently, during the drawing process, they are transformed into fictional representations, serving as the foundation for my paintings. The drawings evolve into a conceptual dialogue or exploration of an idea, serving as a creative springboard or interpretation of a concept. More like a takeoff of an idea.
