Through oil painting I capture these landscapes, but I do not merely represent them: I transform them. By crumpling the canvas, by distorting the surface, I give my works a third dimension, creating a dialogue between painting and sculpture. This gesture, both instinctive and controlled, reveals the material as a metaphor for the city itself: at once solid and shifting, structured and unpredictable.
