ARCANA series comprise expressive and gestural artworks that delve into the realms of materiality, intensity, and mark-making, featuring intricate and nuanced surfaces. These paintings exude a poetic ambiguity, drawing inspiration from elements in everyday life, popular culture, profanity, and urban legends. Through the skillful integration of imagery, text, and symbols, the artworks weave subtle and uncertain narratives infused with raw emotions and a profound sense of existentialism. Inspired by esoteric rituals and divination practices, the series reflects the growing prevalence of mysticism in post-pandemic culture. Practices such as cartomancy, magick, and astrology, once considered marginal, have now found resonance in personal self-care and psychological exploration. Within the paintings, viewers will discover a contemporary interpretation of historical references, knowledge, and symbolism, fostering self-awareness and introspection. The enigmatic nature of the artworks encourages viewers to establish their own associations and interpretations. The interplay of gestural marks, mysticism, pop imagery, and cultural symbols challenges viewers' perceptions of the world and the prevailing cultural, social, and environmental climate.
