Lingering Traces is a series of contemporary abstract paintings on canvas built around
what remains after movement, emotion, and interaction.

 

Nothing fully disappears. Marks persist, shift, and re-emerge in altered forms.

 

The surface becomes a record of decisions, interruptions, and returns.

“Each mark is a coordinate, what remains becomes the map.”

About the Theme of Lingering Traces

Lingering Traces is a series where I investigate the residue of experience, the marks that time, emotion, and interaction leave behind even after the moment has passed.

 

Each work is built through layering, erasure,
and reactivation.

 

Lines, textures, and color fields accumulate over time, forming compositions that hold both presence
and absence simultaneously.

Rather than fixed structures, these paintings reveal residual systems, in which past gestures influence what comes next, and earlier decisions remain embedded
in the surface, even when buried beneath new layers.

 

The canvas becomes a palimpsest: a surface written over, again and again, but never entirely erased.

 

What the viewer encounters is not a finished image
but a record of everything the painting has been through to arrive at what it is now.
