My practice focuses on exploring the relationship between nature and humans, with an emphasis on the impact of human activity on biodiversity. Using watercolour, ink, graphite, coloured pencils and charcoal, I aim not only to reproduce natural forms, but also to convey their elegance and complexity.
A careful study of nature is at the heart of my work. By observing plants in my own garden, I explore their life cycle, finding aesthetic value in each stage of development - from germination to maturity. This research allows me to strike a balance between botanical precision and artistic expression, creating compositions that highlight the beauty of the natural world in its dynamics and fragility.
My work not only showcases the beauty of plants, but also draws attention to the issue of conservation of endangered species, highlighting their vulnerability through art.
