Painting displaced toward everyday objects and rooms

Domestic Spaces brings together works where painting leaves the stretcher and moves toward household objects, surfaces, and rooms. The image no longer behaves as something only to be looked at; it becomes atmosphere, insistence, and pressure on intimate space.

Newspaper, advertising fragments, and printed waste enter the home as signs of visual excess. By adhering to walls, furniture, appliances, and domestic devices, they reveal a persistent contamination that settles inside the house and blurs the boundary between private and public space.

Objects in Domestic Spaces

This line addresses the first expansions of painting toward everyday objects and functional supports, where printed waste interrupts use and turns the object into a contaminated pictorial surface.

Rooms

In the room interventions, painting becomes an environment. Walls, furniture, ceilings, and domestic circulation are affected by the same visual pressure that defines the series.
