Mythical Abstraction (2023-2024)

Mythical Abstraction represents a transitional body of work that investigates immersion, perceptual density, and the experience of complexity. Moving between abstraction and heightened realism, the series constructs layered visual environments that draw the viewer through macro- and micro-scales simultaneously. Each work operates as a sustained perceptual field, requiring prolonged engagement and meticulous execution.

The series is characterized by extreme material and technical intensity. Two large-scale works anchor the body, one developed over the course of a year and the other over several months, followed by additional works that extend the investigation through equally labor-intensive processes. The paintings employ intricate detail, calibrated light, and spatial depth to create environments that resist immediate resolution.

Created between 2023 and 2024, Mythical Abstraction marks a critical shift toward the questions that would later be distilled in the Circle Series: how complexity is held, how perception is guided, and how continuity emerges from layered experience. Rather than depicting a specific place, the works function as constructed perceptual systems—threshold spaces between immersion and containment.
