Technically speaking about the “Limits” series…

The “Limits” series is about people, about humanity, about emotions, about boundaries…

It's about crossing them, bending them, it's a reflection on the meaning and meaninglessness of their existence. Before the flagship figure of this series was created, human bodies in my paintings, though already quite simplified, were still somewhat realistic.

These paintings were a prelude to the actual series.

In the “Limits” series, I reduced the human form to a maximally simplified geometric shape, figure, sign. A sign, with an exaggerated, not necessarily more seeing, large eye. With this character, I try to tell human stories.

The highly simplified figure can be the hero of a portrait, part of a broader narrative, a more or less significant entity in a crowd.

The “Limits” series evolves. Over time, the figures become my base for further experiments. And from the cropped parts of their bodies, a new, abstract story is built…

These paintings I call, in a working manner, bodily.

It's a play with the line, the titular boundary, resulting in labyrinths, bodily landscapes.

To quite clean, delicate linear recordings. They bring to mind readings from medical devices, seismographs, or lie detectors… It's the music of bodies. A record of existence, human presence, human emotions.

 It turns out to be an endless story. 🙃
