Home

The first painting from my deeply significant cycle “Home” marks the beginning of an inner journey, a search for the self. It is difficult to find yourself when you don’t even know where to begin, and I chose to start from this very moment depicted in the painting, which itself bears the same name, “Home”. Through it, I search for myself, it helps me live and breathe. Alone in a foreign country, surrounded by unfamiliar faces and thoughts, the only place where I truly find myself and feel at home is with him, the being that anchors me. The painting presents various motifs, but one stands out in particular: the stork, an archetype of new life. She brought us the lemon on the table, a symbol of freshness. Throughout this cycle, I try to weave traditional elements into the landscapes of the place where we now live. In doing so, I assemble and accept both reality and tradition, merging what is entirely foreign with what feels deeply familiar. This cycle is not only about space, but about a state of mind, about creating a home within oneself. Because when I paint, the boundaries between myself and the world begin to dissolve and in that moment, I am home.
