The miniatures I create are not a separate cycle but a continuous thread running through every phase of my artistic practice. They are my way of returning to essentials: pure form, gesture, texture, and silence. In them lies what is fundamental to my work — the need to preserve intimacy, precision, and focus that large formats sometimes absorb.
The recurring motifs — shells, nautiluses, leaves, pebbles, water, light, Venice — are not thematic cycles but visual archetypes that reappear throughout different periods of my work. They are traces of my interests, travels, inner states, and my long-standing exploration of organic forms. Each motif emerges in a new context yet retains its recognizable structure, evolving alongside me.
Working in miniature allows me to slow down, to be more attentive, to concentrate on a detail that would become only a fragment within a larger composition. In these works, I explore surface tactility, the rhythm of the line, the relationship between light and dark, and the quiet transitions between the figurative and the abstract. They are my laboratory — a space where I test ideas, materials, and visual relationships that later enter my larger works.
