Minotaur's Dream: The Veil, 2020

From the series Minotaur's Dream

There are moments when the boundary between the visible and the invisible seems unexpectedly thin. The Veil inhabits that uncertain threshold. Faces, hands, beasts, and fragments of anatomy emerge from a dense labyrinth of organic forms only to disappear again into its tangled depths. No single figure dominates the composition. Instead, the painting asks the eye to wander, allowing hidden presences to reveal themselves gradually, as though memory itself were taking shape.

The Minotaur's Dream series explores the labyrinth not as a physical prison but as a psychological landscape. In Greek mythology the Minotaur is confined within twisting corridors, yet in dreams the labyrinth becomes inward—a maze of instinct, memory, archetype, and imagination. The Veil is less concerned with depicting the Minotaur than with entering the world it inhabits. Here identity dissolves into an ancient living tapestry where human, animal, and landscape cease to exist as separate things. The viewer is invited not to solve the image but to lose themselves within it, discovering forms that seem at once deeply personal and strangely universal.
