Market Sentiment is a series inspired by the artist’s dual practice as both anartist and a financial trader. Over the past years, he has developed a methodthat bridges these two worlds, transforming the patterns and emotions of themarket into visual form.Each piece begins with real data from trading sessions—minute-by-minute orhourly snapshots of how prices move over time. The artist focuses on therhythms and turning points in these price charts, looking for where marketspause, accelerate, or reverse. These patterns often reveal shifts in collectiveemotion—such as fear, excitement, or uncertainty—that ripple through thefinancial world.His main focus is gold, one of the most actively traded commodities globally. In2024 alone, its daily trading volume averaged around $227 billion. Gold is knownfor following certain predictable behaviors, which makes it a rich subject forboth analysis and artistic interpretation.Through this process, the artist’s market studies become drawings, which thenevolve into abstract compositions. It is within this translation—between data andfeeling, structure and intuition—that the boundaries between market and artdissolve into a single expressive language.
