The beginnings of Art Beyond Canvas.
Before the modular panels came to life, I spent months exploring plywood as a painting surface testing how colour, texture, grain, and geometry respond to the material. These early works became a turning point in my practice, revealing how something simple and often overlooked could hold warmth, depth, and emotion.
This collection gathers one-off paintings , mixed sizes created during that formative period.
Each piece stands on its own as a statement artwork, yet together they map the visual language that eventually shaped my modular concept.
New Surface New Direction
Working on plywood challenged everything I knew about canvas painting. The natural grain demanded different brushwork, the weight changed the rhythm, and the raw surface created its own dialogue with the colours.
Instead of hiding the material, I leaned into it allowing every knot, line, and imperfection to become part of the composition.
These works mark:
- the first explorations of the geometric language I now use
- early colour experiments that later became full palettes
- the introduction of metallic accents as a way to create light
- studies of form that inspired the new modular arrangements
- the beginnings of my interest in tactile, living surfaces
They represent experimentation, risk, and discovery the foundation of a new artistic identit
Foundational. Intimate. One-of-a-kind.

These works are not prototypes they are finished, standalone artwork.
But they also mark a very specific moment in my artistic evolution, making them significant for collectors who appreciate:
Origins: The visual vocabulary before it became a full system
Authenticity: Each piece is a pure study, where ideas first appeared
Rarity: These are limited; the series will not be recreated
Material honesty: The grain and natural tone of plywood remain visible
Emotional resonance: They reflect my earliest interpretations of calm, joy, and movement through material.
These artworks are where I first learned how to listen to wood.
Where the grain became a guide, and the material became a collaborator.
Before the modular system existed, these were my conversations

Project : Grounding
Discover a world of balance
Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, Here, form is held at its origin, allowing each piece to settle before it becomes.
The work invites you to slow down and meet it where it begins
My mission is to, embrace innovation, and create meaningful, lasting impact through everything I do and to create art that lives quietly within a space.
Work that doesn’t demand attention, but rewards it grounding rooms through presence rather than spectacle.
Grounding presents my foundational experimentation behind a modular approach.
Each work here reflects an early inquiry into balance, restraint, and spatial clarity. They function as quiet origins complete in themselves.
