This painting, titled "Searching", is an abstract work that appears to have been created with a combination of hemp and enamel on canvas. Measuring 120x150cm, the size is considerable, allowing the artist to broadly explore the interaction between the materials used. The use of hemp introduces an earthy, organic texture, in stark contrast to the glossy, fluid look of the polish. The result is an image that reflects a sense of research, as the title suggests, and perhaps even a journey of discovery. The use of bright colors gives the work an energetic liveliness, while the use of enamels evokes a sense of ritual, as if the viewer were witnessing a shamanic ritual. There is a sense of cloudiness throughout the work, which could represent the uncertainty or ambiguity of the research itself.
