My Work I work with material as one questions memory: with hesitation and then insistence. This material today circulates from one space to another, from canvas to screen, from code to paper. My work explores the transformation of images between the digital and the physical. I develop a continuous dialogue where each medium informs and reconfigures the other. Digital forms can become the basis for paintings, while hand-created textures are digitized, modified, and reintegrated into new compositions. Code functions as a tool alongside traditional techniques, allowing me to generate structures, repetitions, and controlled disruptions that I then confront with the unpredictability of material processes. What interests me is the moment when the image shifts from one state to another. A digital image gains presence and resistance when it becomes physical, while a painted surface can lose its stability when it is digitized and transformed. Through this process, I seek to reveal the image as something unstable and constantly evolving. Time is central to this approach. In painting, it appears through layering, accumulation, and erasure. In digital media, it manifests as continuous transformation. By bringing these temporalities together, I create works that bear both the trace of the gesture and that of the process. Rather than separating the techniques, I consider painting, coding, printing, and image manipulation as part of the same movement: a continuous transformation of matter. Each work is a moment within this cycle, never completely fixed, always becoming. Marc FELD
