About Tractus Day-dreaming paintings

Context:

Tractus Daydreaming, akin to the Tractus series, merges painting and drawing techniques. The work is built from repeated action under constraint, where constraint is not fixed or external, but actively encountered through movement itself, in the resistance of the surface, in uneven conditions beneath the canvas, and in the sudden interruptions caused by contact with boundaries and edges.

It unfolds as a temporal event, not an image planned in advance. What appears on the surface is the residue of decisions made moment by moment, but also of disruptions that interrupt those decisions and redirect them. The drawing does not unfold smoothly, it is constantly broken, corrected, and re-routed through physical encounter.

In this sense, the marks are always secondary to the unfolding activity that produces them. They are not the primary goal of the work, but the visible trace of a process happening in time, where intention, movement, and resistance are inseparable.

Meaning does not sit in the final image as a composition to be read from above, but is embedded in the process itself, in the way movement is altered by friction, interruption, and return, and in how each mark records not only direction, but the conditions under which that direction changed.
