Painting as Cognitive Inquiry
This body of work engages with the language of traditional oil painting while probing its limits through conceptual layering and material precision. Each piece operates as both artifact and experiment: a site where perceptual habits are tested and new frameworks for seeing are proposed. Drawing from art history, machine aesthetics, and personal memory, the paintings unfold over time — not only in their making but in their reception. They invite close reading, contextual thinking, and a willingness to dwell in ambiguity.
