His work emerges from a physical relationship with drawing and painting, a need to record gestures, vibrations, and internal tensions through color, line, and texture. He often works with felt pens, acrylic markers, and experimental printing, layering marks until they form dense, abstract images that feel simultaneously emotional and architectural. The surface becomes a container for invisible forces: rhythm, memory, resistance, and fragility.
In recent years, his focus has turned toward exploring how these internal gestures interact with external environments. He is drawn to the idea of drawing as a bodily act, one that listens to space, absorbs the temperature of a moment, and allows intuition to lead the hand. His current research expands his studio practice into more process-based, site-specific forms, involving natural materials and open-ended installations. He is interested in the porous boundary between body and landscape, and how a drawing can be shaped not only by intention, but by weather, soil, or accident.
He sees his own practice as an ongoing conversation between surface and sensation, structure and collapse. Each work is a record of attention and instability, a fragile system of signs, always on the verge of dissolving or transforming.
Filip will be in residence in May 2026.
