Press Paintings
Press Paintings is a series of works developed through direct physical engagement with pressure, adhesion, and layered materials.
Using glue, oil paint, acrylic, and found or industrial elements, the works investigate how force and compression shape both surface and image.
Materials are pressed together rather than painted in a conventional sense. The body applies weight and resistance, allowing contact points, friction, and displacement to determine form. Paint functions as both pigment and binding agent, merging elements into a single compressed surface.
The resulting works balance between painting and object. Traces of pressure—imprints, edges, ruptures—remain visible, emphasizing the process rather than illusion. Each work records a moment where materials meet under force, transforming painting into an event of contact and consolidation.
