When a rocket’s raptor engine takes the form of an idol, it brings us closer to the deep roots of our mythological beliefs and the origins of idol creation. The raptor fuels the rocket’s journey, mirroring the life-giving force an idol can embodyโa metamorphic essence that breathes spirit into human life. Like idols, these engines represent a powerful force beyond their physical form, leaving behind only a material shape that hints at something far greater, something transcendent.
Amid a fierce storm, two sailors race away from an abducted city.ย This artwork began as a sketch demonstration, capturing the initial form and gradually evolving into a full composition. From there, I developed the scene further, incorporating color sketching to bring the piece to life. It is created on A3 sketch paper.

The Nightmare at the Dump
The painting captures a chilling moment of survival, where a pack of wild dogs surrounds me in a desolate garbage dump. The dogsโ snarling faces and piercing eyes convey a sense of imminent danger, as if theyโre ready to strike at any moment. The chaotic environment adds to the tension, with the dump serving as a grim backdrop to the unfolding nightmare.
The scene is not just about the dogs, but about the primal fear of being outnumbered and surrounded by danger in a place where safety is far away.
THE STORY OF A TREE AND A WOODPECKER
This painting is inspired by the concept of organic burial pods. In this process, a person is buried in a pod that eventually grows into a tree. As time passes, a woodpecker arrives and begins pecking at the tree. This raises intriguing questions: Does the person’s soul, now part of the tree, feel pain? Has the person’s soul become the soul of the tree?
Serene – peace and wonder – bygone era
This piece took some time over the weekend as I experimented with a different treatment of pigments, mainly on paper that had been left in a corner for many years. These treatments are risky and challenging on paper, but I managed to complete it in the end.
