"Isolated thoughts" 

The Maldives project

Imagine being on a very small island, surrounded by nothing but the vast ocean. This painting series captures the essence of isolation and introspection that come with being alone in nature.

Tejfel uses Payne’s grey, deep raw earth tones, and black hues. The ocean water he paints with—and the waves themselves—become a metaphor for letting things go. The dark shades symbolize the depths of our minds, while sand and coral rubble reflect the ever-changing nature of our thoughts—sometimes uplifting, sometimes oppressive. Each stroke on the canvas tells a unique story, encapsulating the feeling of solitude within nature’s embrace. The result is a series that speaks volumes about introspection, self-discovery, and finding meaning in solitude.

Through these works, Tejfel invites us to delve into our own thoughts and explore what lies beneath. His paintings remind us that sometimes we need to be alone to form our deepest connection with ourselves.

All of these paintings were created in the Maldives using sand, coral rubble, ocean water, and acrylic paint. The final touches and collage work were completed in Tejfel’s studio in Hungary.
