Human Evolution

A large-scale work about human evolution seen less as a clean ascent than as a field of signals, fragments, warnings, and repeated attempts to understand ourselves. The painting treats humanity as something drawn, measured, misread, repaired, and drawn again.

Across the surface, skulls, faces, arrows, diagrammatic marks, and handwritten interruptions gather like evidence from different stages of consciousness. Some marks feel ancient, closer to cave walls and ritual notation. Others feel engineered, like systems maps, interface logic, or instructions from a machine that has inherited the human record.

The bright orange and red field gives the work a physical heat, while the black and white drawing keeps pushing the image back toward language. It is both playful and uneasy, a history of the human animal compressed into symbols, bodies, errors, and surviving gestures.

Human Evolution does not present progress as certainty. It asks what remains human after we turn ourselves into diagrams, data, myths, products, memories, and machines.
