About the Artwork
Additional artwork information will be added soon.
This piece takes a familiar object—a fried egg—and places it within a rigidcontrolled space. The softorganic form contrasts with the hard geometric linescreating a sense of tension.
What is usually simple and comforting begins to feel slightly distorted and confined. The bright yolk draws attentionwhile the surrounding form feels stretched and restrained.
By isolating and reframing an everyday subjectthe work invites viewers to see something ordinary in a more unfamiliarunsettled way.

Two artists have profoundly impacted my art: John Singer Sargent and Egon Schiele. Both are portrait artists, yet their styles are remarkably different, shaping the evolution of my own artistic style.
Sargent's incredible use of color and positioning on the canvas captivated me. His portraits are elegant and sophisticated, capturing light and texture beautifully. However, I began to question whether this external elegance truly captured human nature.
In contrast, Schiele’s portraits are more shocking, with darker colors and bolder lines. His style delves into the human psyche, revealing complexities and loneliness. This led me to incorporate more expressive and unconventional elements into my art.
