“Monolith” captures the silent tension between towering apartment blocks and the fragile houses that surround them. The painting reflects the oppressive weight of concrete, set against the vulnerability of smaller homes. The idea was born in a time of daily routines, family responsibilities, and an urgent need to create. Searching for peace at the window, I found no horizon — only concrete facades pressing into the landscape. Yet behind those walls lived countless stories, each carrying its own struggles and hopes. Through this work, the block becomes not just architecture, but a monolithic presence: a symbol of memory, survival, and the fragile balance of urban life.
