The Gaze as a Gateway – A Visual Meditation

There exists a dimension of reality that escapes the hurried eye, an in-between space between what we see and what we feel, between perception and revelation.

In this collection of works, I have not sought to reproduce the world as it is, but as it pulses beyond the visible surface—like an unresolved equation between matter and spirit, between presence and absence.

Painting thus becomes an act of searching, a mapping of an inner territory where all things are interconnected: sky and earth, birds and flowers, fish and eyes, light and shadow. Everything exists in an organic, indissoluble relationship, and between these elements slip the essential questions: Who is looking? What is truly seen? And where does illusion end for understanding to begin?

The viewer’s journey is not merely an aesthetic one but a recognition of lost fragments of the self. There is a play of perception here: some images are easy to decode, while others require a deeper gaze, a surrender of immediate references. Just as in life, what seems clear at first glance dissolves into ambiguities, and seemingly insignificant details become gateways to unexpected meanings.

This is not a return to the past, nor a leap into the future, but an attempt to anchor the viewer in the only place where consciousness can be fully awake: the present. The gaze thus becomes an exercise in presence, a suspended moment where time stops, and reality—whether a landscape, a symbol, or a simple texture—reveals itself in its essential silence.
If this collection manages to offer such a moment, even for a second, then the act of creation has fulfilled its purpose.
