An ongoing painting series built around repetition, variation, and perceptual shift.

The project works with a limited set of geometric forms treated as elements of a coherent visual structure. Paintings are created in small groups (usually two or three works) which can function independently, yet together form a closed set. Installed side by side, they may operate as diptychs or triptychs, sometimes merging into a single expanded composition.
Each series explores how even minimal alterations generate new, autonomous images.

Two formal approaches structure the project:
In the first, a restricted vocabulary of shapes is used to produce different compositions within one coherent set. The same or closely related forms reappear across paintings, yet their scale, position, and relational dynamics shift. The result is a group of distinct works that remain structurally connected.

In the second approach, the composition itself remains identical across multiple canvases. The shapes occupy the same positions, maintaining the same internal structure. Only the color palette changes. This shift, though seemingly minimal, fundamentally alters the perception of the painting.

Through this controlled repetition, Variables investigates how difference emerges from sameness and how perception responds to subtle change.
The project remains open. New sets are developed over time, extending the system without establishing a definitive conclusion.
