The Creation of the Man, 2024
Acrylic and sand on paper mounted on canvas
70 × 120 cm
From the Artist:
This work explores the primal mystery of the breath of life. Emerging from an intuitive creative process in which forms materialize before they are theorized, it reflects a profound questioning of human existence. By disrupting traditional anthropomorphic iconography, the life-giving figure is endowed with feminine attributes. The figure's three fingers deliberately depart from reality, affirming the artist's refusal to imitate the visible world.

Influenced by the philosophical writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, he approaches art as a language through which thought and lived experience take form.

He was a finalist for the Ellipse Art Prize in 2023.
