Heron and Books

2026 · Oil on canvas · 120 × 80 cm

available

This work sets a rigid architectural grid against nature, counterposing historical record with poetic fiction. While the archived volumes claim to record immutable history, the heron exists as a quiet, living fiction inserted between the shelves. It is the smallest painting in the exhibition, and the most patient.
