Sleepy Landscapes

This series of paintings emerges from a personal exploration of disrupted sleep, altered rhythms, and the psychological states that unfold in their wake. Developed during intermittent periods of insomnia, the works are shaped by the atmosphere of prolonged wakefulness, where perception softens and thought becomes diffuse. Rather than visualising measurable data such as sleep or pulse, the paintings draw from the emotional and mental textures of these experiences. They unfold as vast, imagined landscapes—constructed from fragmented memories of colour and sensation— while remaining deliberately abstract and resistant to fixed interpretation. Referencing the historical tradition of landscape painting, once tied to the depiction of the external world, the series repositions the genre as an introspective space. These are not real landscapes, but internal terrains, where distinctions between body and mind, data and dream, begin to dissolve, and the stability of reality is called into question.
