Exit

2025

A corridor marked by an exit sign leads not to safety, but to darkness. Through chiaroscuro and aggressive color manipulation, the image questions the reliability of orientation and escape. The space becomes psychologically charged, where guidance systems fail and movement forward implies deeper entrapment in a never ending loop.

A Little Bit About The Artist

A Statement From The Artist

My work explores the city as a psychological landscape, shaped by the dissonance between perception and reality. Influenced by neon light aesthetics, I use saturated and contrastant colours and deep shadows to evoke artificial settings that feel both illuminated and obscured. The visual texture draws from visual snow syndrome, introducing grain, noise, and distortion in a way to translate an unstable way of seeing into image form. Through a contemporary approach to chiaroscuro, I exaggerate contrast to create tension between visibility and concealment, guiding the viewer through environments that feel simultaneously familiar and hostile. These images transform ordinary urban spaces into sites of unease, where light does not reveal but instead distorts, and where perception itself becomes unreliable.

Do you like scary movies? And if so which ones?

I love scary movies and am currently writing a scary comic. My top 3 are Jacob's Ladder, Skinamarink and Incantation.

Who or what is the biggest influence in your practice?
 

My practice is primarily influenced by chiaroscuro and the idea of sustained discomfort. I explore how extreme contrasts of light and shadow can distort perception, transforming familiar urban spaces into environments that feel psychologically unstable and hostile.
