I explore the liminal spaces where the organic world transcends into the realm of consciousness and myth. My work invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with nature by suggesting sentience and awareness in what we typically perceive as inanimate botanical forms. Through digital paintings that blend traditional brushwork aesthetics with contemporary digital techniques, I create vibrant ecosystems where the boundaries between human, plant, and mythical beings dissolve into new possibilities.

I am fascinated by the secret narratives that exist in natural environments. The stories that unfold beyond human perception. My work aims to transform flora into sentient observers, challenging viewers to consider that they too are being watched as they observe. These botanical beings exist in a realm where consciousness manifests in unexpected forms.
Color plays a crucial role in my visual language. I employ deeply saturated palettes. Cyan blues that illuminate darkness, vibrant magentas that suggest otherworldly energies, and rich purples that evoke the mysterious. These chromatic choices create dreamlike atmospheres that hover between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to enter a space of wonder.

Ultimately, my work serves as a bridge between worlds. The seen and unseen, the human and non-human. By personifying natural elements and creating environments that pulse with hidden life, I invite viewers to expand their understanding of consciousness and consider that we exist within an ecosystem of awareness that extends far beyond our human perspective.
