 The Annunciation no longer delivers clarity — it signals collapse. The angel speaks, but the message cannot be received. No one is left to hear it. The garden, once symmetrical, begins to tear. It is no longer protected — it watches us now. The fruit of knowledge has lost its glow. It was bitten. . . Oil on canvas

M o U – M o m e n t s o f U n c e r t a i n t y - after Delacroix’s ‘Christ on the Sea of Galilee’ (1853) In Delacroix’s painting, a fragile boat is caught in a storm, yet the apostles find calm in the guiding presence of Christ. Today, similar vessels cross the Mediterranean, carrying those in search of refuge—only now, there is no one to still the waters. The title references the “Memorandum of Understanding” signed to curb illegal border crossings, highlighting a painful contrast: policies shaped on land, while lives are lost at sea. The drawing, partially abstracted, gestures toward the imagined moments of those on board—suspended between hope, fear, and the vast uncertainty ahead.

The Eternal Hunt - after Antoine Watteau’s Rendez-vous de Chasse (around 1717-1718) Watteau’s “Rendez-vous de Chasse” presents a fête galante scene of a hunting party, a moment of leisure and friendship. However, my painting aims to delve deeper beneath this idyllic surface, exploring the underlying complexities and contradictions inherent in human existence. Derrida’s deconstructionist philosophy offers a valuable lens through which to examine this exploration. Deconstruction challenges the notion of fixed meanings and reveals the underlying binary oppositions that structure our understanding of the world. In Watteau’s painting, the dichotomy between pleasure and pain is invisible; often obscured by the superficial beauty of the scene. My painting seeks to disrupt this binary opposition by highlighting the darker realities that often coexist with moments of joy and celebration. Thoughts, sufferings, and health issues are universal experiences, yet they are often hidden behind carefully curated facades. Hence the eternal hunt for meaning carries on...
