Artist Statement
This world of cosmic complexity and infinite uniqueness fascinates me. Inspired by the organic unity visible to the human eye, I contemplate how the world is composed. Looking into textures and surfaces, I study infinite patterns, connections, and ambiguous signs of biological activity. Everything, subject to fundamental forces, manifests resemblance through its worldly origin. Meanwhile, despite the endless earthly plurality, uniqueness is an inevitable aspect of existence.
Florifera is a painted vulva cast celebrated as a flower bud. As part of the Organic project, it looks into our visual resemblance with nature, hinting at an intricate connection through shared forms and patterns. I capture the uniqueness of real human bodies and combine them with heterogeneous colors and variegations of the natural world. By taking the body out of context, fragmenting it, and modifying only some aspects, I create an abstract image while preserving the hyperrealism of details. The artwork shifts visual perception, inviting new insight. The project channels the healing powers of nature by emphasizing the beauty of diversity and unity of existence.
