A Palimpsest of Impressions

The "Open Architecture" calendar was woven from the impressions and facts surrounding celebrated architectural discoveries.

I explored the aesthetics of Chinese emperors, mastered the Inca technique of quipu (knot-writing), meticulously studied the windows of El Escorial, synchronized their pace with Big Ben, and practiced Tibetan meditation.

The culmination of these efforts resulted in twelve stunningly beautiful pieces in a mixed-media style. These works are a sophisticated fusion of photography, drawing, collage, and engraving, seamlessly integrated with digital technology and intuitive creative impulses.

On a wall, the calendar appears as an authentic masterpiece. Each page invites the viewer to frame it individually and linger over its details—provided one has the patience to wait until the year’s end.
