November 2024, Oil and Damar resin on canvas, 80x80cm

Third part of my new Jessica series, which explores the dynamics of human interactions within relationships: courtship, rejection, attraction, conflict, discussion, betrayal, love, and sorrow.

I try to create a space where the viewer, as Jung suggests, is not just looking but drawn inward, perhaps touching deeper layers of the psyche. I try to evoke archetypes and symbols of relationships, inviting discovery rather than providing answers. Elements like color, form, and structure encourage the viewer to look beyond the visible, into what may be hidden or absent. Using their imagination, they might encounter their own anima or animus within, engaging in an inner dialogue shaped by both presence and absence.
