This series of oil paintings on canvas marks a pivotal moment in the development of a methodology grounded in the intersection of language, thought, and visuality. The works originate from a personal archive of handwritten notes taken during an introductory philosophy course—class summaries, quotations, and conceptual sketches. Rather than transcribing or illustrating those texts, the artist translates them into visual structures where meaning shifts: signs become forms, concepts unfold through rhythm and colour.
This early project inaugurates the use of the archive as a generative tool for painting and lays the groundwork for an ongoing line of inquiry in the artist’s practice: how to organise complexity through image, how to activate relationships between the verbal and the visual, how to think through painting. With their layered and fragmented compositions, the works offer a sensitive reading of philosophical thought—one where painting does not represent ideas, but sets them in motion.
