From Nothing emerged during a time of global and personal confinement, conceived amid the January 2021 lockdown in Portugal. With limited access to the external world, I turned inward, using a constrained format—100 A4 paintings on paper—as both a challenge and a necessity. This body of work became a meditation on isolation, memory, and perception, documenting an internal landscape shaped by altered routines and the unknown. In this series, I moved beyond previously explored ideas, embracing ambiguity, duality, and shifts in perspective. Each painting stands as an independent moment of reflection, yet collectively, they form a visual and psychological journey. Some transitions are seamless, while others disrupt expectations—echoing the mind’s unpredictable movement between logic and intuition, structure and chaos. The repetition of certain visual motifs suggests continuity, while the juxtaposition of dissonant styles reflects the non-linear nature of thought. Though the works are presented chronologically, their interpretation remains fluid. Reordering the sequence alters the narrative, revealing new connections and meanings. This allows the viewer to engage in an active dialogue with the series, shaping their own experience through the way they perceive, arrange, and internalize the images. Ultimately, From Nothing is both a documentation of an internal state and an invitation to the viewer to construct their own interpretation. It is a record of adaptation, transformation, and the creative potential that arises from constraint. In its essence, the series reflects how meaning is not fixed but continually redefined through the act of looking.
