My monochrome works are meditations on texture, perception, and restraint. They are built from fields of nails sculpted into reliefs, coated in a single hue, where material and surface speak through quiet contrasts. Hardness becomes softness, steel becomes fabric, and what seems minimal at first glance reveals depth through light, shadow, and touch.

Linen was the first step in my exploration of monochromatic reliefs, where vision and tactility merge into a single experience. This piece transforms the folds of rumpled fabric into a sculpted relief. What is usually soft and ephemeral is here reimagined through steel nails, each one leveled into a rhythmic surface, then coated in pale color.
The result is a paradox: a material associated with weight and rigidity becomes the bearer of delicacy, texture, and touch.

Created in continuity with Linen, White Unicorner extends my exploration of softness within the language of steel. With its clean, monochrome surface, the work adapts to any space, carrying both purity and presence.
The soft coating offsets the hardness of the nails, inviting the eye to sense touch even before the hand makes contact. Minimal yet tactile, White Unicorner is both sculpture and atmosphere, embodying my ongoing dialogue with monochromaticity.

Vermilion Unicorner Plissé continues this series with a new intensity. Inspired by the folds of pleated fabric, the relief carries both rhythm and stillness, amplified by its bold, vermilion surface.
It is part of the growing family of Unicorners - minimalist, monochrome works where color, light, and structure converge. Here, vibrancy replaces neutrality, but the essence remains: a meditation on fabric, steel, and the quiet transformation of hardness into softness.

Unlike in the painted works of the Unicorner series, in Pearl Unicorner I left the steel nails bare. Their natural sheen captures and reflects light, giving the surface a shifting, pearl-like vitality. It is a monochrome that is never static, alive with reflection and shadow.
