Banana tree (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Anna Bogushevskaya

I'v been living in Singapore for 6 years, so in my artworks I examine the complex relationship between urban development and the natural world.
This piece is part of an ongoing series that reflects on how nature adjust to the encroachment of urban life, mirroring our own discomfort with constant change and relocation. While humans currently appear to dominate the reshaped landscape, the work invites contemplation of a possible reversal—a future where nature reclaims its space and the “green jungle” once again asserts itself over the built environment.

The painting challenges the viewer to consider who truly has the capacity to endure, evolve, and ultimately “move forward” in this era of ecological uncertainty.
