His latest body of work explores color not as statement, but as atmosphere. The series consists of circular paintings built from carefully calibrated bands of color. Rich ochres, softened greens, deep blues, muted rose tones, palettes chosen not for shock value, but for their ability to coexist. The result is work that feels emotionally present yet visually restrained, capable of shaping a space without asserting dominance over it. Rather than functioning as a single focal point, the works are designed to operate modularly, individually or as a full set. The circular format softens architectural lines, while the moody palettes align seamlessly with contemporary interiors that favor warmth, depth and restraint, inviting shifting perspectives and moments of self-recognition; Claug.art.
