SERENDIPITY
Serendipity is a body of work created between 2025 and 2026, employing mixed-media techniques that combine oil and acrylic paint with inserts of vintage book pages, textured surfaces, and impasto applications. Executed in small and medium formats (30 × 40 cm and 50 × 70 cm), the series explores the relationship between memory, perception, and landscape.
Each composition originates from landscapes encountered and observed by the artist during travels and everyday experiences. Rather than depicting these places literally, the works reinterpret them through a personal and emotional lens, transforming recognizable scenery into abstract visual narratives. Color, texture, and gesture become vehicles for conveying atmosphere, sensation, and subjective experience rather than descriptive detail.
The incorporation of pages from old books introduces traces of time, memory, and hidden narratives, creating subtle connections between place and personal history. Layered textures and relief elements enhance the tactile quality of the paintings, while thick impasto passages preserve the immediacy of the artistic gesture. Through the accumulation of materials and marks, each work becomes a site of discovery, where fragments of reality merge with imagination and recollection.
The title Serendipity refers to the unexpected joy of finding something meaningful by chance. In this series, moments of encounter with a landscape, a particular light, or a fleeting atmosphere become the starting point for intuitive exploration and transformation. The works invite viewers to engage in their own process of interpretation, discovering personal associations, emotions, and memories within the abstract language of the paintings.
