METAMORPHOSIS , AND DREAMS.
METAMORPHOSIS
120 x 100 cmOil on Canvas, Zürich, 2026
explores renewal as a slow and often painful act of transformation. Emerging from a discarded body, a young tree becomes both wound and promise -
an image of identity taking root after loss. The surrounding garden offers abundance and fragile beauty, where crystals, flowers and
fruits suggest the quiet potential hidden within moments of uncertainty. Created during a period of migration and personal change,
the painting reflects the possibility of rebuilding a life without abandoning the traces of what came before.

CARRYING CONTRADICTIONS

In process
Inspired by the landscapes and abandoned villas of northern Italy, this painting reflects on the fragile relationship between beauty, labor, and identity.
The crouching figure embodies the tension between the body's vulnerability and the relentless expectations placed upon it, while fragmented classical sculptures evoke ideals of permanence,
perfection, and rational order. Set within a landscape where nature quietly reclaims the remnants of civilization,
the work questions what remains of beauty when it is no longer protected, and how identity is negotiated between endurance and surrender.
PRICE 10’000 CHF
CHART
40 x 50 cmOil on Board, Zürich, 2026
Third artwork belongs to “ arrival” triptych. The structure recalls the geometry of crystals, molecular formations,
and living cells, suggesting that both human identity and the natural world
are shaped through the same universal principles of growth, connection, and transformation.
PRICE 3’000 CHF
ARRIVAL
30 x 40 cmOil on Board, Zürich, 2026
First artwork belongs to “ arrival” triptych. This series explores the emergence of a new life form as a metaphor for human becoming.
The creature passes through three states: it is born from mineral matter, gradually merges with its surroundings, and eventually begins to construct a world of its own.
Crystals, plants, and organic structures are no longer depicted as separate objects; instead, they become the material from which identity is assembled.
Rather than representing a single transformative event, the works present metamorphosis as a continuous state of becoming, where the self is
shaped through an ongoing dialogue with the world.
PRICE 3’000 CHF
ABSORB

Second artwork belongs to “ arrival” triptych.
PRICE 3’000 CHF
VEIL OF RUINS
40 x 50 cmOil on Board, Zürich, 2026
Held together by a fragile veil, the ruined castle becomes an image of memory, loss, and endurance.
Beneath a storm-filled sky, the work reflects on a past that cannot be restored yet continues to shape the present
- suggesting that survival may begin not with rebuilding what was, but with learning how to inhabit its remains.
PRICE 2’000 CHF
REBORN
25 x 25 cm
Oil on Canvas, Frauenfeld, 2021
The Ouroboros serpent speaks of the process of rebirth - it hatches
from the egg of life and ends its cycle by withering away.
An endless circle.
PRICE 1’000 CHF
DREAMS
25 x 25 cmOil on Canvas, Frauenfeld, 2021
Dreams are not presented here as illusions, but as another state of perception. A crystalline formation anchors the composition while an organic network hovers above it,
recalling both neural pathways and the branching patterns found throughout nature. Together they suggest that imagination is not separate from the world - it grows from the same structures that shape memory, sensation, and life itself.
The shifting landscape resists fixed distance, expanding and contracting like a remembered place. Reality becomes fluid, transformed not by fantasy but by attention, emotion, and memory.
The work reflects on the quiet possibility that the worlds we dream and the worlds we inhabit are shaped by the same consciousness.
PRICE 1’000 CHF
GUARDIAN
25 x 25 cm
Oil on Canvas, Frauenfeld, 2021
An eye rests within an open hand, reimagining an ancient symbol of protection as an image of quiet presence. Sight and touch merge into a single gesture,
suggesting that perception itself is a form of care. The work reflects on the belief that true touch begins with attention - that to truly encounter another being,
a landscape, or oneself, one must first learn to see. The gaze neither judges nor defends; it simply remains present.
