His work explores the depths of life, especially the facets humanity often seeks to suppress. By exposing concealed realities, Kvium has left a profound mark on art history and the minds of his audience.
In "Everlasting Painting", biomorphic forms float in a weightless, indefinite void. These organ-like shapes blur the line between life and death, presence and absence, evoking both familiarity and unease. The paintings examine human fragility, presenting existence as a paradox – eternal yet unresolved, suspended between being and nothingness.Exhibitions
