My painting process is a slow, immersive journey—an act of deep observation and quiet conversation with the plant world. Rather than imposing an idea onto the canvas or paper, I allow the rhythms of nature to guide my hand, creating works that capture the essence of growth, decay, and transformation.
Every painting begins with watching, listening, and learning. I spend time with plants—studying their patterns, textures, and ways of existing. I often document these observations through sketches, notes, and photographs, allowing their presence to sink into my consciousness.
I prefer working with natural pigments, handmade paper, and organic textures, incorporating materials that reflect the impermanence and cycles of nature. Sometimes, I use soil, plant extracts, and found botanical elements, letting the materials become an extension of the subject itself.
Painting, for me, is a meditative act. I work in layers, slowly building forms, much like the way plants grow—unhurried and organic. Some paintings emerge quickly, while others evolve over weeks or months. This slow approach allows me to respond intuitively to the work, letting it breathe and change over time.
My paintings are not just about the plant world; they are about coexistence, slowness, and dissolving the human ego into the larger rhythm of life. Through my work, I invite viewers to pause, observe, and reconnect—with nature, with stillness, and with themselves.
Each work is a fragment of a larger conversation—one that continues beyond the studio, in the landscapes we inhabit and the way we choose to see the world around us.
