2021–2022 → Ivory Black


This large black and white series appeared back in 2021. At that time, I had increased anxiety, was in a very depressed mood, but the series turned out to be a premonition of an even greater impending tragedy. The cycle, at the same time, helped me reboot in painting colouristically.
