THE SHARED VISUAL
The Shared Visual is one of the chapters of the research on How Art Comes Alive.
Memories, dreams and feelings exist without ever taking form. Each time a memory is revisited, it changes: nostalgia softens it, and the loss of innocence charges it with meaning. A house becomes a home; through storytelling, what has no form is written into objects, spaces and figures. Yet a memory lives in one mind only. There is no shared visual until it is captured in a shared real: the artwork. Only there can someone recognize a memory that was never theirs as if it were their own.
A series in development consisting of two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, 2025–2026
The grey area between losing childhood innocence and not yet being an adult. The sponge of the couch, the jute of a potato sack and the clothes once worn become the material of a new story.
New painting series in development: pigments and varnish on paper and cotton, 2025–2026
A familiar story written from an intimacy that was never shared. Staged scenes and repetition turn objects and figures into something the viewer seems to remember.
Painting series :oil and acrylic on canvas, wood and paper, 2025
The nausea of forgetting, altering or denying a memory. Stripes become indicators of time, a tutu becomes a shield, and skin turns green.
