Jonatan Kummel (b.1988). Jonatans artistic practice operates within the interstice between the personal and the collective, the tangible and the dreamlike. His work reflects an ongoing inquiry into the ways in which human perception constructs reality — how memory, emotion, and fragmented experience intertwine to form meaning. By engaging with material, structure, and light as both subjects and agents of transformation, he examines the thresholds where the familiar begins to dissolve and new visual and emotional constellations take form.
For Jonatan, painting is a process of exploration and metamorphosis. Each work emerges as a site of negotiation — between intention and intuition, consciousness and the subconscious, the viewer and the image. His practice invites a contemplative encounter, one that resists resolution and instead embraces ambiguity as a vital space for reflection and presence.
