Wild Things is a body of works that explores the enigmatic essence of flora and “funga”. I like observing their teachings as a system and species on their own, exploring the moments when the natural world undergoes a transformative journey to make me wonder about growth, decay and the unknown. Through this work I explore metaphors of the delicate interplay between life and mortality. I consider this series a contemplation of the profound connections that tether humans to nature's cycles and what emerges when we embrace the ever-shifting flow of life in all its facets.

In my artistic path, I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty in the imperfect, the unfinished, and the evolving. This mindset has allowed me to loosen my grip on preconceived notions of what art should be and has encouraged me to explore my artistic language and experiment with it. What I find most exciting about my work is the freedom I gift myself while working on a project. I
recreate colors, textures, aromas, forms, emotions and macro memories of my childhood and present time.

Art became my shelter and a medium through which I process and communicate my emotions and inner workings. Drawing inspiration from the intricate world of macro photography, I blend it with my observations of human behavior, nature, and emotions. During my walks, I capture tiny
details of nature, not just for inspiration but also to cultivate a deeper connection with my surroundings. I also like to leave room for the viewer’s own processes and imagination. I hope they find moments to wonder through my work and experience discovery.

My studio is a vibrant laboratory where I use my hands and my most introspective moments to express myself, using the medium I decide to explore in the moment. Whether it's acrylic paint, watercolors, oil sticks, graphite, wax, clay, or textiles, I find myself in the constant search to
inhabit new materials. This exploration allows me to comfortably use these elements as a new language to convey my innermost thoughts and feelings.
