The Panoramic series is an installation where the viewer becomes a protagonist within the work with a 360-degree vision, set from an oil canvas 13 meters long by 2.1 high that envelops the viewer with some theatricality in an inside diameter 5 meters and a total structure height of 3 meters.
With Panoramics, I create large-scale immersive installations that surround the viewer, introducing embodiment and theatricality into the act of seeing. The spectator becomes an active participant within the pictorial space.
The series explores painting as an experiential space. Rather than presenting the image as a fixed surface to be contemplated from a single viewpoint, Panoramics expands painting into the architecture of the exhibition. The viewer must move, turn, change perspective, and reconstruct the image through time.
In this sense, Panoramics approaches painting as a form of experiential art—or, more specifically, experiential painting. The experience does not depend on technological mediation or simulated immersion, but on painting itself: its scale, its physical presence, its relationship to architecture, and the movement of the viewer.
The painting no longer simply represents a space. It produces a space that must be experienced.
