Through the Archway

Materials

Oil paint on MDF

Date

January 2025

This series of paintings transforms windows into portals, each offering a glimpse into a mysterious and self-contained world beyond. Painted in oil within ornate, arched frames, the works suggest magical thresholds, windows not just to other places, but other realities. Inspired by fantasy and childhood escapism, each scene hints at narrative: a signpost pointing in conflicting directions, hinting where logic dissolves and choices lead to nowhere and everywhere. A distant ruin on a cliff, inviting the viewer to consider what remains when the known world fractures and imagination takes hold. Or a dark field under the moonlight, offering a moment of stillness, asking the viewer to step outside the everyday and consider what lies beyond our sight. The windows act as a quiet invitation to step away from the familiar, drawing the viewer into imagined worlds just out of reach, yet eerily tangible.
