FAST LOVE IN ROYAL BLUE

This is one of a series of calligraphic, almost abstract compositions that pulsate to the rhythm of rapid consumption — of feelings, images and people — executed in a rich royal blue that is both soothing and unsettling. Each stroke resembles a racing heartbeat triggered by digital scrolling: urgent and concise, sometimes dissolving into delicate brushstrokes that evoke both intimacy and erasure. The work traces the transition from touch to trace, from encounter to imprint, revealing how speed transforms meaning into a residue.

Compositional choices are dictated by tempo: dense clusters of marks mimic the saturation of the economy of attention, whilst open spaces capture the void left by relentless consumption. Sometimes signs collide and overlap, forming textured surfaces bearing the traces of previous gestures — palimpsests of sensations. In other instances, individual bold strokes manifest as slogans — fleeting assertions that dissolve as quickly as they appear.

These works reflect the loss of values in a world obsessed with constant speed. They do not moralise; they document. They ask: what remains when intimacy is reduced to fleeting exchanges, and images are meant to be scrolled past? What vocabulary survives when language itself is reduced to likes and swipes? Calligraphic forms, reminiscent of handwriting and private symbols, emphasise the human element in these transactions, even as the compositions reveal how that human element is being overshadowed.
