Artist's Statement

Cin Per's practice moves between printmaking and monotype, refusing stability. Oil paint on matrix, pulled onto paper — then cut, fragmented and recomposed into mosaic-like structures where forms touch without ever merging. An alphabet of indecipherable glyphs runs through the surfaces — rejecting the illusion of mutual understanding, inviting the observer to narrate their own story. Experience is irreducibly subjective. We do not fully understand each other. We never have. And yet we keep trying. Cin Per operates as a lone body within and against the art system. There is no interest in performing the role of "the artist," no desire to belong to its codes or hierarchies. Time is spent closer to lived realities than to art circles, keeping perception unfiltered, unsoftened. Born between islands, mountains and forests — shaped by Caribbean heat, Nordic silence and Mediterranean chaos. Formed across continents, belonging fully to none, carrying all of them. This is not displacement. It is the only honest map. Truth is sought in reality — in its contradictions, its violence, its unresolved tensions. To aestheticize without consequence is complicity. The artist cannot rest while the world burns. No digital. This is not nostalgia — it is a conscious refusal. A human scream against the accelerating automation of everything, including feeling. Like the Dogme 95 filmmakers who found freedom precisely through their vow of constraints, the limitations here are the manifesto. Oil paint on plate, pulled once. What remains is what remains. Landscape is psychological terrain. Earth destabilizes. Clouds interfere. Waves carry unrest — guilt, non-belonging, a quiet refusal of suffocating systems. Above it all, the moon repeats. Time does not heal. It cycles. It witnesses. Between the fractures, there is recognition — of the scared inner child in each of us, trying and failing, shaped by forces beyond our making. Identity is fluid. Gender is fluid. Nothing is fixed, and that is not a wound. It is a condition worth inhabiting honestly. These works insist on imperfection — not failure, but the only truthful condition of being human. What emerges is not resolution. But not only darkness either. Resistance. Resilience. And somewhere in the damage — always — the stubborn, irrational persistence of hope. Lard ah Mercy, me su un bàla biöt!
