The project “Almost Visible — almost seen, almost spoken” is a visual exploration of the female body at the threshold between the material and the metaphorical. The works exist in the space between photography and painting, between documentation and intuition, between physical presence and inner state.

I work with fragments of the female body, constructing frames where form becomes gesture, color becomes emotion, and paint becomes an extension of breath. Layers of acrylic—spontaneous, deliberate, alive—are applied over photographs (which I transfer onto canvas). These layers do not replace the image but engage in a dialogue with it, dissolving the boundaries between what is seen and what is felt.

There is no “point of view” here—only the tension between opposites: visual fixation and emotional fluidity, the personal and the universal, the body and color as gesture. This is not a statement, but an attempt to feel, to experience, to linger in the in-between.

The body here is neither object nor subject, but a medium. Line and light are not illustrations, but states of being. Color is not about beauty, but about emotional truth, vulnerability, and attention to the unnoticed.

This is an exploration of intimacy as philosophy, the visual as corporeal, silence as expression.
