LOVIN’ MATTER

Solo show - Kaplan projects – Palma de Mallorca

October-December 2026

The movement of the sea visible through a window,
the magnetism of an accumulation of flowers,
a book displaying a collection of sketches,

Lovin’ Matter grows as a record of an encounter; a way of holding onto something that, however fleeting, has remained as a shape, a line or a stain.

The works form a territory made of presences, memories, nature and affect. An in-between space built by visuality and poetry, the visible and the felt; an open map that invites viewers to observe, to travel and to discover themselves in a texture or an imagined place, in an animal, in the sea, in the mountains or among the stones…
