Updates from Kseniia Turik's studio

  • Seven Voices — Olga Lavie on "Aurelium of Gogengame"

    An architect based in New York. Where others describe a feeling, she describes structure — and arrives somewhere entirely different. Part of Seven Voices. The painting is "Aurelium of Gogengame".

    Seven Voices — Monique Amar on "Lithic Drift"

    A Parisienne, elegant and deeply cultured. She saw rails first. Then a journey, and a train. Part of Seven Voices. The painting is "Lithic Drift".

    Seven Voices — Kristoffer Mincberg on "Aurelium of Gogengame"

    Thirty years selling luxury property on the Costa del Sol, and a private collector himself. His conclusion: art is not a matter of expertise. It comes down to the person standing in front of it. Part of Seven Voices — seven people, one painting, the same seven questions, answered independently. The painting here is "Aurelium of Gogengame".

    Seven Voices — Emilio Martinez Sañudo on "Dorée"

    Seven Voices /is an ongoing project. Seven people — a collector, an architect, a property developer, someone who simply walked into the room — meet the same painting for the first time and answer the same seven questions. Separately. Without knowing what anyone else said. No script, no explanation, no interpretation from me. I am not in these films. The canvas never changes. What changes is what people bring to it. In this episode: Emilio Martinez Sañudo, from the north of Spain, where taste is inherited rather than bought. The painting is "Dorée".

    Before the first layer · Marbella studio

    Before the first layer · Marbella studio

    The white canvas before anything is touched. This is always the moment I think about most — what the painting will become, what it will refuse to become. Liquitex gesso, acrylics, pigments, gold leaf, resin — every material in reach. From here, the surface starts to build, layer by layer, until the work finds its own form.

    The pour

    The pour

    The acrylic layer is already complete — blues and greens built up over days. The resin I am pouring is fully transparent. Once it lands on the surface, it spreads, levels, and seals everything underneath into one continuous skin. After this moment, nothing can be changed.

    Torching the resin · Marbella studio

    Torching the resin · Marbella studio

    Flame is part of working with epoxy resin. Once the layer is poured, I pass a torch over the surface to release the air bubbles trapped inside — without this step, the finish would never settle into a clean, mirror-like skin. Every painting in the Through Matter series passes through fire before it is finished.

    Building the surface

    Building the surface

    Every layer has to set before the next one is poured. The work is slow, technical, almost architectural. I think of each painting as a structure built in time — not made all at once, but assembled, layer after layer, until the surface holds light.

    Atelier · Marbella and Paris

    My practice moves between two studios — one in Marbella, one in Paris. The work itself is the same; the light is different. Mediterranean clarity in the south, deeper shadows in the north. Both shape the surface in their own way.

    The moment light meets the surface

    The moment light meets the surface

    Up close, the painting stops being an image and becomes a landscape. Acrylic and pigment build the form in successive layers; resin is the final, transparent skin that holds everything in place and lets light pass through. The depth you see is real — built layer by layer, then sealed.

    Mixing resin · Atelier

    Mixing resin · Atelier

    Precise proportions are everything. Resin is a chemistry before it becomes a painting — temperature, ratio, timing all decide whether the surface will hold light or fail. This is the quiet, technical part of the work, before the pour begins.

    Working with resin

    Working with resin

    Resin is unforgiving — once it begins to flow, there is no going back. Every gesture has to be considered. The mask, the gloves, the protection are part of the discipline this material demands. The Through Matter series lives in this dialogue between control and surrender.
