Everyday Epiphanies

This series, started in 2014, explores the unexpected poetry of everyday life by relating spontaneous, ordinary moments to the grand tradition of art history. I collect and work from photos taken fortuitously in daily situations — moments that, through their composition, structure, or subjects, echo classical artworks.

By drawing connections between these ephemeral scenes and iconic works of art, I aim to highlight the hidden beauty in the mundane. It’s a way of reawakening our perception: to recognize the artistic value in the seemingly insignificant and to see everyday life under a new light. These moments, often overlooked, reveal their own kind of timeless poetry — reminding us that even the smallest gestures and encounters can be seen as works of art.

The works are created on wood panels using a hybrid monotype technique I refer to as a "Sensorial Process". This involves a layering of traditional oil painting, flat acrylic backgrounds, and drawing. It’s a tactile and emotional process — one that allows me to delve into the physiological and emotional presence of my subjects. I try to capture not only how they appear, but how they move, relate, and resonate with me on a sensory level.

This technique offers a way to move beyond the boundaries of form, tracing a gestural path that communicates both the essence of a moment and its deeper emotional charge.
