"Marfik"
"Marfik"
In "Marfik," a mystical rabbit peers out from a niche-shaped portal, gazing towards an unfolding whiteness that encapsulates a moment of enigmatic mystery. Layers of dark, velvety colors drip and flow, establishing a magical boundary between the known and the mysterious. This painting draws you into a contemplative space where the boundaries of reality blur, and the mystical becomes tangible, inviting you to explore the profound depths where vision and spirit converge. While the name "Marfik" may evoke images of wizardry, it is actually derived from a blue-white star in the Lambda Ophiuchi constellation, also known as the "Serpent Holder."

Welcome to the Luminous Thresholds Series
I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole, into a realm where light dances with vibrant hues and shadows play with time. Here, evocative scenes invite contemplation and transcend ordinary boundaries.
My journey began at the fluffy tail end of 2022, nudged into action by my forever-love of rabbits. As I blended paint and passion, the rabbits multiplied, their presence unknowingly aligning with the “Year of the Rabbit.” Soon, a raven persisted in joining the ensemble, adding its own mysterious allure to the gathering.
This series is an unfolding adventure, a collection of auspicious moments captured on canvas, where each stroke is a step deeper into the unknown. The paintings and drawings, scattered like stars across my studio, are more than art—they are invitations to cross into thresholds of luminance, where the ordinary meets the extraordinary.
I haven’t a clue where these paths will lead us, but I am eager to explore them together.
They look like paintings:
In my creative journey alongside Rob Park, a master of photography and printmaking, we conjure pieces that transcend the ordinary boundaries of printed art. Our collaboration is a dance of spirit and skill, creating works that are not just made—they are symphonies of the unexpected, mesmerizing viewers into seeing beyond 'prints' to experience each piece as a profound work of art, as vibrant and soul-stirring as any painting or original masterpiece.
Craftsmanship: Printed with carbon pigment archival ink on 100% rag fine-art paper.
