No Face, No Time
No Face, No Time (ongoing since 2025) is a series of small monochrome paintings in which art-historical icons and classical fragments reappear as memory-objects. Stripped of face and chronology, the figures are held not by likeness but by the gesture of form—a turn of the head, a shoulder line, a single anchor such as a pearl, a fold, a broken torso.
Paint applied with a palette knife becomes a sculptural skin—simultaneously preserving and erasing. A stark black rectangle and an unstable hand-drawn frame create a charged field between museum order and raw material presence, where the past breaks into the present and immediately dissolves. The series asks what remains of identity when name and time disappear, and an image persists only as residue on the surface.
