“This painting comes from a weathered pink wall I saw in Cascais, Portugal. What caught my attention were the details left by time—the chipped paint, the dirt, and the small frame on the wall that now holds nothing. It feels like a trace of something that used to be there, but is now gone. On the other side, I painted a large frame around the door, almost like treating it as a portrait. By doing this, I wanted to draw attention to something ordinary, to ask if framing changes the way we see it. For me, the work is about memory and presence, about how buildings carry both what is still here and what has already disappeared.”

Pope Bacay’s (b. 1994) paintings explore the idea of home through fragments of architecture and shifting landscapes. His works draw on the houses he has lived in and the places he has passed through, transforming windows, rooftops, tiles, and horizons into contemplative images. Sometimes precise, sometimes intuitive, these forms become vessels for memory and belonging, suggesting that place is less about geography than about sensation and recall.
