Fundamental Interactions

The Fundamental Interactions series explores the connection between science and art, focusing on the transformation of objects and forms. The compositions blend Renaissance motifs, Arabic art elements inspired by sand and water, and contemporary art — resembling a tapestry of different cultures united through painting.

At the 2025 Locarno Film Festival, a large-scale mural was created on the walls of the il Rivellino gallery in Locarno, directly opposite the entrance to the fortress designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Three walls depict three distinct places — Il Rivellino in Locarno, Doha-Lusail, and Art Basel-Messe — uniting three different worlds into one through art.

The series draws its name from the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Each painting reflects on these invisible forces that shape the universe, translated into visual form.
