“Inspirationist EV2” represents an important stage in the evolution of my work — a period where I began exploring how traditional paintings could be transformed through digital reinterpretation.


The journey began with an original hand-painted artwork created in acrylic and watercolour. The foundation piece was expressive and instinctive, built through layered colour, texture and movement.


Rather than simply reproducing the original painting, I became interested in what might happen if I pushed the work further. Using digital tools, I stripped the composition back to its essential shapes, colours and rhythms, creating a new version that felt flatter, bolder and more graphic while still retaining the energy of the original.


“Inspirationist EV2” emerged from that process.


By isolating and enlarging a small section of the wider composition, I discovered an entirely new artwork hidden within the original piece. What began as a detail became a standalone work — proof that a painting can continue evolving long after the first brushstroke.


This period of experimentation helped shape the way I think about transformation in art: how one idea can lead to multiple outcomes across different formats and mediums.


That same mindset continues to influence my work today, including projects such as ROOM 9006, where music now plays a direct role in generating visual art.


Sometimes a finished artwork is not an endpoint — it’s the beginning of something else entirely.
