Artist Statement My practice revolves around a surreal exploration of the harmonious relationship between nature and humanity, employing the dynamic combination of oil paint and gouache. Often featuring vegetables and fruits adorned with human faces, my work creates a whimsical realm that challenges viewers to reassess their connection to the environment. I celebrate the inherent beauty of the often-overlooked. Infusing inanimate objects with human expressions serves as a metaphor for our shared essence with nature, blurring the boundaries.
