Painting
My paintings are developed over multiple sessions—built in layers, shaped by drying time, and clarified through return. The work values patience and revision as much as the final image.
About
I work between painting and craft, exploring what happens when you slow down and let materials guide the process.

In the studio, craft work centers on tools, wood, and repetition—learning through making and refining by hand. Attention shifts from idea to material, from speed to rhythm.
Badun is a place to share finished works as well as the process behind them—tests, iterations, and the quiet decisions that shape what remains.
A few moments from the studio—layers, tools, wood, and the repetition behind the finished work.
Oil painting forms the core of the practice, developed through layered sessions shaped by drying time and return. Acrylic is used selectively. Charcoal remains an ongoing focus, often explored in smaller formats around A4, where immediacy and direct mark-making take precedence.
Woodturning is an integral part of the practice. Using the lathe, pens and tesbih beads are made through repetitive, time-intensive processes. A complete tesbih consists of at least 33 individually turned beads, requiring patience and sustained attention—experienced as a quiet, meditative rhythm.
The work is process-driven and largely non-commercial. Many pieces circulate privately as gifts for close friends and family. The focus remains on material, time, and repetition as fundamental elements of making.
