This is a drawing of yukos. A yukos was a pile of dowries, textiles, woolen blankets, sheets, clothes, etc. They were placed one on top of the other neatly folded and well weighed and all covered with a sheet. Housewives usually made it on a trunk or on boards. They often hid money inside in a specific place that only they knew. It could reach a height of two meters.
My grandmother's yukos was one of the characteristic images from my father's family house. I let myself go and weave, as I paint, my thoughts and memories of the mysteries that took place in this house. Doctrines, whims, traumatic experiences and a summer laziness that hypnotically imposed silence.

Materials used:

Watercolor and colored pencils

About
My practice moves between memory and imagination, between the visible and the barely felt. I approach art-making as a form of intuitive excavation — an attempt to trace the inner... Read more
