Nature


The Nature Collection was born out of my deep need to reconnect with the essential elements.
In it, I explore the silent beauty of the natural world, particularly water, light, and landscapes, which inspire me with their vibration, movement, and fragility.
The horizons between sky and sea, or between sky and earth, have become recurring motifs in my work: for me, they represent points of passage, thresholds of balance, but also spaces for reflection.
Painting nature is not about representing it, but rather restoring its inner echo, capturing what it triggers in us in terms of memory, breath, or silence. Each canvas organizes the senses, translating light and matter as vectors of perception.
This collection was notably presented at World Art Dubai 2024, through triptychs entitled From Oil to Gold.
Through this work, I also question our relationship with living things and the environment, in an effort to raise visual and sensory awareness. I compose these works in an intimate dialogue with nature, as a way of celebrating its discreet strength and vulnerability.
