FLOATING UNIVERSE Artwork

With over 15 years of experience as a freelance cameraman and filmmaker, I apply my unique perspective as a self-taught artist, merging nature, fantasy, and a touch of magic into my creations. My art emerges intuitively, centering around recycling and transforming organic materials. The raw and unconventional natural details and objects I incorporate into my artworks take on a 3D quality through the combination of materials like molten metal, sand, and shells. I am fascinated by the concept of transforming flora into fauna, resulting in premium artworks on canvas, glass, wood, and metal. Additionally, I utilize various sustainable and uniquely colorful paints that I carefully compose myself. "Ever since my childhood, I have been captivated by the beauty of nature, encompassing its colors, play of light, shapes, shadows, movements, and patterns. My world travels have also served as a wellspring of inspiration, with experiences and observations reflected in my works. Thus, my art involves capturing all this beauty in an alternative form. Pictures in motion once shaped my perspective, teaching me to observe, to see colors, shapes, movement, and light in an explicit manner. I subsequently transform certain details into realistic elements. I prefer the 'top view' perspective, also known as the bird's eye view, for the tranquility and dynamics it offers. Simultaneously, I play with the balance between fantasy and a hint of reality. My drive, vision, and passion are directed towards creating captivating works of art that make the 'seemingly' impossible possible—a journey worth undertaking, revealing something you might never have imagined."
