“I believe that art exists not only on the surface of the canvas but also in the layers of perception that emerge in the viewer. My practice is based on the idea that meaning is not given directly but gradually revealed through observation, pause, and personal associations.
I work with simple, familiar objects and a restrained visual language, allowing space, silence, and fragmentariness to become active elements of the work. The depicted image is only the first layer; everything else is created by the viewer’s experience, memory, and inner dialogue.
Years of working in this way gradually led to the formation of a cohesive artistic movement. This process resulted in the creation of Layerism—a contemporary art movement based on multilayered perception, rejection of imposed meaning, and the active role of the viewer.
Recurring motifs, such as the coffee bean and other everyday objects, are not fixed symbols but entry points into deeper layers of interpretation. My work invites the viewer to slow down, see beyond the visible, and engage in a quiet dialogue that continues beyond the canvas.
