This series of drawings evokes the blurred memory of a landscape hidden by heavy rain. Using oil pastel and erasure, the artist creates damp, saturated marks that dissolve contours, recalling the moment when water veils forms and distances. Transferred images, imprinted with trieline, lie submerged in the background, partly erased, partly revealed. Over these traces, new gestures emerge—dark strokes and luminous gaps—suggesting an oneiric world where figures surface and vanish. Shapes overlap with memory and time, like visions glimpsed through rainfall. Created during a collaborative period with the Aistanomai collective, the series extends into shared explorations of performative presence.
