Claritas

In Claritas, light is not something that falls onto a subject from outside. It is the subject: a force that seems to arise within the painted surface. Across works dated 2022, translucent passages meet areas of material density, giving brightness a physical presence without fixing it into a single figure.

The title evokes the idea of clarity as an inner or spiritual condition, rather than mere visibility. A darker passage does not simply oppose the light; it makes the experience of illumination possible. These paintings invite slow looking, when distinctions between matter, colour and radiance begin to change and what initially appears abstract becomes unexpectedly intimate.
