Tacit Knowledge is a quiet portrait built through layers of muted colour, softened contours and traces of an almost worn surface. The figure seems to emerge slowly from the painting rather than simply occupy it, surrounded by flowers that feel both real and imagined.

The black flower is the emotional centre of the work. It suggests knowledge not as something declared or displayed, but as something absorbed and carried within. It belongs to the figure naturally, almost like a thought made visible.

The painting moves between presence and memory, delicacy and strength. Its layered surface allows forms to appear, disappear and return, giving the work a sense of time and inner life.
