Spiky is a series of six paintings, using wood and oil on canvas. The wooden spikelike

objects are glued to the canvas in an unordered fashion. This composition

carefully detaches the painting from its two-dimensional constraints, blurring the

lines between form and texture.

Combining wood and oil on canvas results in unequal absorption of oil into its surfaces.

Oil on wood increases pixel density and darkens color through absorption. In

contrast, oil on canvas preserves pixel density, generating a bright, blue color. This

facilitates the simultaneous presence of a monochromatic yet dynamic expression.

The aggressive application of varnish intensifies light reflection, heightening the

contrast between illumination and shadow. The series therefore becomes remarkably

sensitive to variations in light exposure and is perceived differently from varying

distances and angles.

Repetition and monochromatic simplicity seek to enable the exploration of singular

emotions, unveiling subtle nuances.
