In the following thesis, I explore the perception of time, image and language in contemporary art. Today's visual culture is characterized by the constant circulation of images, which leads to the loss of their material presence. Digitalization and the overflow of information contribute to the fragmentation of meaning, surface-level perception, and the disintegration of language. In this context, I see painting as a potential alternative to the instantaneity of the contemporary visual landscape. Despite its apparent stillness, painting enables an unfolding of time, duration, and multilayered naratives that resist linear logic and immediate legibility. I understand the artwork as something fluid, not as a fixed or completed entity, but as a dynamic structure. I approach language and its meaning as elusive and manipuable systems within which I analyze visual strategies that deliberately introduce ambiguity into representation. I investigate how visual vagueness can become a tool for destabilizing meaning. In the series Do you dare to believe in something so uncertain? I examine the relationship between reality and interpretation through an interplay of analog and digital processes. By employing strategies of fragmentation, repetition, and translation, I interrogate the relationship between what is real and what is interpreted and I question the reliability of visual representation and its impact on perception.
