I have nothing to say

I Have Nothing to Say is about the moment when an artwork does not need to be fully explained. It does not try to sound clever or deliver one clear idea. For me, it is more about a feeling, about what happens when the eye begins to wander and choose where to stay.

Within the work, fragments of faces, figures and architectural elements can be noticed, but they are never fully resolved. They appear through lines, soft planes, gestures and layers, as if they briefly surface and then disappear again. I did not want the image to become too clean or too easy to read. I wanted to leave space for uncertainty, silence and personal interpretation.

The work is made using charcoal, charcoal pencils, oil pastel and dry pastel. These materials allow the surface to hold both softness and tension: some marks feel light and almost disappearing, while others become more direct, physical and present.

The piece is created on a custom-built curved canvas structure. Its side edges bend outward, allowing the work to move beyond the flat wall plane and become an object in space. This physical presence is an important part of the work: it is not only an image, but something that has a body.

I Have Nothing to Say does not ask to be solved. It invites the viewer to stay with what is only partially visible.
