Inspired by nature and imagination, I create carefully constructed compositions where animals take center stage—fully at home in their habitat, yet carrying a quiet mystery. Each work begins with sketches and studies, evolving into scenes that feel both familiar and otherworldly, somewhere between memory and imagination. I paint in oils with expressive, textured brushstrokes to enhance depth and movement. Light and shadow are not just contrasts but shape the atmosphere, creating a space where darkness allows light to emerge as a magical, almost living presence.
