"Isolated thoughts" 

This series of paintings captures the essence of isolation and introspection that come with being alone in nature.

Tejfel’s palette consists of Payne’s grey, deep raw earth tones, and black hues. The ocean water he paints with — and the waves themselves — become metaphors for letting go. Dark shades symbolize the depths of the mind, while sand and coral rubble reflect the ever-changing nature of thought — sometimes uplifting, sometimes oppressive. Every brushstroke tells its own story, encapsulating the feeling of solitude within nature’s embrace. The result is a series that powerfully evokes introspection, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in solitude.

Through these works, Tejfel invites us to delve into our own minds 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.
