Personal Statement
As a graphic designer turned visual artist, I’ve always seen nature as a miracle—the way it effortlessly creates patterns, shapes, and life. My work explores this magic, crafting artworks that feel organic and alive, existing somewhere between reality and imagination. Using primarily digital techniques as a foundation, I seek to capture the connection between the familiar beauty of nature and the surreal possibilities of creation. It’s not about imitating nature but reimagining it through the lens of technology, reflecting how our world and lives are continually transformed by it.
