Experiment · Form · Texture
I was exploring different ways of working with art, trying to discover what truly inspired me and where my own artistic language might take me.
I came across artists creating three-dimensional forms on canvas using mesh and spackle. I became curious about the technique and decided to experiment with it myself.
It was much more challenging than I expected. Creating the forms was one thing; getting the surfaces smooth and refined was another. I spent time experimenting with mesh, spackle and sandpaper, learning through trial and error.
What started as an experiment became a new way of thinking about painting, not only through colour, but through form, texture, shadow and dimension.
I am still exploring this technique, and that exploration is part of my artistic journey.
First Experiment
Form · Material · Exploration
This was my first experiment with metal mesh, spackle and canvas.
I had been curious about how a hard, rigid material could be transformed into something that looked soft and almost like fabric. I wanted to see whether I could create flowing folds and movement using a material that normally feels industrial and inflexible.
Getting the surface smooth was surprisingly difficult. I experimented, sanded, added more spackle and worked on the forms again and again.
This piece became the beginning of my exploration into texture, three-dimensional form and the transformation of materials.

Reaching
Connection · Distance · Touch
Two pieces of fabric, like two hands, reaching toward each other.
I wanted to explore whether I could use this technique to create something that feels soft and flowing, even though it is made from rigid materials.
The two forms move toward one another, almost as if they are trying to meet. For me, they represent connection — the desire to reach someone, to come closer, and to bridge the space between two people.
This piece was also an experiment in technique. I wanted to see how far I could take mesh and spackle to create movement, folds and the softness of fabric.

Behind the Mask
Appearance · Character · Duality
We all have more than one side.
Sometimes a person may appear harsh, distant or difficult, while behind that face there is kindness and warmth. Someone else may show you a beautiful smile, while hiding thoughts and intentions that are much darker.
I created these two faces to explore the difference between what we show the world and what may exist underneath.
The black and white masks represent two sides of the same idea — the face we present and the person behind it.
For me, the piece is a reminder that appearances can be misleading. We cannot always know what is behind the mask.
