NO RED WINE NOW SHE’S GONE – Painting

NO RED WINE NOW SHE’S GONE and JUST DRINKING BEER INSTEAD are two expressive paintings about longing and absence. In the first work, a hand holds a glass of red wine, surrounded by the text NO RED WINE NOW SHE’S GONE and smaller variations like BUT SHE WILL COME BACK. In the top left, a mouth with blue lips playfully references the personal detail that she always gets blue lips from red wine. The second painting shows a hand holding a glass of beer, with the words JUST DRINKING BEER INSTEAD and subtle references to LOTS OF BEER. Both works reflect the longing during her long journey: red wine represents shared moments, beer a temporary alternative until her return. Intimate, humorous, and full of symbolism.

This artwork is part of LUMINOUS DEPTHS:

Step into another world—one we barely understand, yet are already beginning to exploit. This installation immerses you in a dark deep-sea realm, where neon and UV paint reveal hidden life forms. Fish with pulsating lines, jellyfish glowing like floating ghosts, and twisting octopuses emerge from the darkness as your blacklight traces their contours.

Thick mist drifts along the floor like deep ocean currents, while eerie sounds surround you. What lives here? What remains unseen? And what are we destroying before we even comprehend it?

“Luminous Depths” is a living painting in which you are both the explorer—and perhaps the intruder.

The serie ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM plays with perspective, humor, and underlying themes of discomfort and duality. At first glance, it is recognizable as an elephant, but upon closer inspection, the work reveals a playful and suggestive ambiguity. The fusion of forms challenges the viewer to reflect on perception and interpretation—what do we truly see, and what do we project onto the image ourselves?

The elephant’s eyes are recessed into the material, creating a mesmerizing effect. From every angle, the elephant’s gaze seems to follow you, resulting in an almost inescapable confrontation with the artwork. This enhances the meaning of the expression “elephant in the room”—an obvious and prominent subject that is often ignored or left unspoken.

By combining humor and provocation, the series succeeds in offering both levity and depth. The work invites discussion: is it merely a playful image, or a metaphor for societal issues we would rather not address?
