Dr:ps is an ambient chromatic study from the GAUS_ST series. Inspired by Masters of Color Mark Rothko and Carlos Cruz-Diez' research in color dialectics, the idea was to use an alpha digital video effect as a medium to mix pixel as pigments in traditional painting, then combining gaussian blur and stroboscopes to produce resultant color illusions.

NolenVolens (I,II and III) is a synthwave triptych echoing eponymous body of work by the late graffiti writer and legend Paul SAEIO (1987-2017). NolensVolens is latin for "to want/not to want". NolensVolens is a series of his pictural research embracing the competitive and impermanent aspect of graffiti, looking at competitors destroying or painting over his work and city employees cleaning it as a completion of his work. He then begins to include playful cleaning techniques and brutal overlaps into his painting practice, celebrating this alteration/destruction process as an evidence of the living city.
