COGNITIVE BIASES
The ongoing series "Cognitive Biases" explores various cognitive distortions through a contemporary artistic lens. Each work in the series highlights a specific bias, offering a visual reflection on how perception and thinking are shaped by these psychological phenomena.
The first piece, "Dunning-Kruger Effect," is a six-color silkscreen print realized on three different media: paper, black velvet, and an overprinted old oil painting. This combination of materials creates a tension between the traditional and the contemporary. The choice of substrates reflects the thematic focus on overconfidence and the lack of self-awareness, while the layered printing process symbolizes the visual and cognitive overload associated with misjudgments and distortions. Through its experimental use of color and form, the piece invites the viewer to question their own perspective—a call to reassess the boundaries of knowledge and understanding.
The second piece "Pareidolia" is a black-and-white woodcut print marked by intricate, interwoven lines and dense, mechanical forms. The deliberate use of the woodcut technique heightens contrasts and textures, generating a visual complexity that blurs the boundary between the abstract and the recognizable. The chaotic arrangement suggests industrial machinery and organic shapes, prompting viewers to perceive familiar patterns in the midst of apparent randomness. This mirrors the concept of pareidolia, where the mind projects meaning onto ambiguous structures. Through its detailed and dynamic composition, the work invites a deeper reflection on perception and the human drive to find order within chaos.
This two-tone drypoint etching, titled Cognitive Dissonance, is part of a series exploring cognitive biases. The work juxtaposes structured geometric forms on the left with chaotic, wave-like lines on the right, symbolizing the inner conflict and tension inherent in cognitive dissonance. The use of stark black and ochre tones emphasizes the contrast between rational structure and emotional turbulence. The intersecting lines and textured surfaces reflect the unsettling clash between conflicting thoughts, capturing the viewer in a state of visual and psychological tension that mirrors the discomfort of cognitive dissonance.
