The award recognized my ability to work across figurative and abstract painting, with particular attention to atmosphere, presence, and emotional restraint.
The jury highlighted how my work engages with landscape not as a descriptive motif, but as a space shaped by perception and inner experience. Emphasis was placed on my sensitivity to mood, color, and expression, as well as the continuity of my artistic development.
The scholarship marked an important moment of professional recognition, confirming the relevance of my practice within a broader contemporary context. It provided both validation and support at a stage where my work was undergoing a clear shift toward a more process-based and reflective approach to painting.
