Anton Calmîș paints from personal photographs to explore how perception shapes our sense of reality. Using the slow, deliberate process of layering thin, translucent paint, he transforms fleeting images into meditations on time, memory, and the instability of seeing. The photograph provides a neutral starting point of apparent objectivity, while painting reveals its quiet distortions—how reality shifts between what is recorded and what is felt. Through this process, Calmîș turns ordinary moments into reflections on the mutable nature of truth, where looking becomes inseparable from remembering.
