Provisional Structures
165 × 165 cm
Created in the aftermath of my residency, Provisional Structures emerged from an overwhelming sense of freedom—a state in which painting became an expansive act of narration. With broad, generous gestures, the brush was allowed to construct stories that never claim completeness, but instead acknowledge their own provisional nature.
This work embraces the fragmentary. It understands every painted mark as a temporary proposition: a fleeting truth, a suspended moment, an open structure in continuous transformation. Like memory, perception, and lived experience, the image resists closure. It remains in motion, shaped as much by what is revealed as by what is withheld.
Provisional Structures reflects on painting as a living process—one that does not seek definitive answers, but inhabits the fertile space between certainty and becoming, where every gesture is both an arrival and a departure.

There will never be a perfect moment for a studio visit. An artist’s studio is a living, evolving space—works are constantly being created, rearranged, packed, unpacked, or transformed. There is always a certain degree of beautiful chaos, and that’s simply part of the process.
For collectors and curators, I believe there is no better way to understand an artist’s practice than by experiencing the work where it is made. Seeing the paintings and installations in their natural environment often reveals connections that cannot be captured in photographs alone.
If you’re interested in visiting my studio and experiencing my work firsthand, I would be delighted to welcome you. Feel free to get in touch to arrange a private studio visit.

Das letzte Kunstwerk ist unterwegs. /English below
Heute verlässt das zwölfte und damit letzte Originalkunstwerk mein Atelier. Es geht an eine Sammlerin, die im vergangenen Jahr das Kunst-Abonnement zugunsten von Glücksmomente e. V. ersteigert hat.
Ein ganzes Jahr lang durfte ich Monat für Monat ein Originalkunstwerk verschicken. Mit dieser letzten Lieferung findet dieses besondere Kunst-Abonnement nun seinen Abschluss.
Mein herzlicher Dank gilt Glücksmomente e. V. für die wertvolle Arbeit, die der Verein für schwerkranke Kinder und Jugendliche leistet. Es ist mir ein großes Bedürfnis und eine Freude, mit meiner Kunst einen kleinen Beitrag leisten und Gutes bewirken zu können.
Falls ihr Interesse daran habt, selbst ein solches Kunst-Abonnement mit Originalarbeiten aus meinem Atelier zu erwerben oder einem besonderen Menschen zu verschenken, meldet euch gerne bei mir. Ich freue mich auf eure Nachricht.

The final artwork is on its way.
Today, the twelfth and final original artwork leaves my studio. It is on its way to a collector who won my Art Subscription at last year’s charity auction in support of Glücksmomente e.V.
For an entire year, I had the pleasure of sending one original artwork each month. With this final shipment, this special Art Subscription comes to a happy close.
My heartfelt thanks go to Glücksmomente e.V. for the invaluable work they do for seriously ill children and young people. It is always a privilege and a true joy for me to use my art to support a cause that truly matters.
If you would like to own an Art Subscription featuring original artworks from my studio—or give one as a meaningful gift—I’d love to hear from you.

Day 14/14 – Provisional Structures
The final day.
It’s hard to believe that these two weeks have already come to an end. What started as a simple challenge—to step away from the canvas for fourteen days—became one of the most rewarding artistic experiences I’ve had in a long time. It reminded me why it is so important to occasionally leave familiar territory behind and become a beginner again.
As artists, we have to question ourselves repeatedly, seek new challenges, and resist relying only on proven techniques or familiar patterns. Growth happens when we allow ourselves to play, to struggle, to experiment, and sometimes to fail. That is how our artistic vocabulary expands—and how we continue to evolve.
Painting will always remain at the heart of my practice, but these fourteen days have reopened a conversation with sculpture that I don’t want to end. I know that sculptural thinking will continue to become part of my everyday studio practice.
Above all, I leave this residency with deep gratitude—for the freedom to experiment, for everything I learned along the way, and for all of you who joined me on this journey. Thanks for the invitation @alfredocristianoartist . I sincerely hope that I was able to inspire some of you to challenge yourselves, to leave your own comfort zone from time to time, and to rediscover the joy of making.
Tomorrow, I’ll return to the canvas.
But I’ll return differently.
If you’ve been following this residency, I’d love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment—it would truly mean a lot to me.

ART RESIDENCY
14 days… work! work! work.
Day 13
Today began outside the studio.
I found myself, once again, climbing headfirst into a construction waste container in search of overlooked materials. It is one of my favourite parts of this process—not only because of the unexpected discoveries, but because of the expressions on the builders’ faces when they realise that someone is deliberately stopping to rescue fragments they had already dismissed. What is considered waste in one context can suddenly become possibility in another. Value, after all, is often a matter of perspective.
Back in the studio, today was dedicated to the final refinements. Small adjustments, subtle shifts, decisions about balance, proportion and tension. It is remarkable how the smallest intervention can transform the character of an object. I also began photographing each individual work in preparation for tomorrow’s final studio presentation—a private exhibition without visitors, created exclusively for all of you who have accompanied me throughout this residency.
As the project approaches its conclusion, I notice a certain melancholy. Tomorrow will already be the final day.
At the same time, I know how much I am looking forward to returning to the canvas. These two weeks have not replaced painting; they have renewed my relationship with it. Stepping away from one medium has allowed me to understand it more clearly. Sculpture has challenged my habits, slowed my thinking, and reminded me that every artistic language reveals something the others cannot.
Above all, what remains is gratitude. Gratitude for nearly two weeks of uninterrupted experimentation, for the freedom to follow curiosity without expectation, and for the simple joy of setting myself a challenge whose outcome I could not predict. That sense of play may well be the most valuable work produced during this residency.
