My paintings explore the symbolic intersection of humans and wild animals, delving into the metaphorical connections that bind us. Through evocative compositions, you capture the essence of our complex relationships with nature and each other. By juxtaposing human and animal forms, I reveal the parallels between our experiences, emotions, and struggles, inviting viewers to reflect on our shared existence and the interconnectedness of all living beings. In my art, wild animals serve as powerful metaphors for human emotions and loved ones, representing the fierce protection of a mother's love, the gentle guidance of a mentor, or the untamed passion of the human spirit. Each piece weaves a narrative that transcends species, speaking to the universal language of the human experience and the wild beauty that resides within us all.
