From Observation to the Artwork

Everything begins with observation. The camera does not seek to capture an image, but to register an instant of light: a fragment of the sky that will soon dissolve. Each chromatic record is a point of departure, an attempt to hold onto the unrepeatable.
From those photographs, the gradients emerge. They are not reproductions of the sky, but sensitive interpretations: cartographies of color in transit. In my process, I translate those luminic transitions into digital structures that are then printed on lenticular sheets, where color becomes living matter.

On the surface, the image comes alive. The viewer perceives a vibration, a subtle displacement that does not reside in the work itself, but in their gaze. That optical illusion is also a metaphor for time: for how the present transforms itself as we attempt to understand it.

Each piece is, in some way, a synthesis of the process — of observation, memory, and the transformation of color. It is not about representing the sky, but about converting it into perceptual experience: into a space where looking is also a way of inhabiting time.
