"Painting follows the form" is the motto of this series. It explores the association between two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality. Extracting paintings from the canvas—transforming them from seemingly flat surfaces into lively entities—my goal is to infuse playfulness and experimentation, spanning the commercial and fantastical realms. Bridging the gap between practicality and wonder, this series blurs the lines between art, decoration, and design! At first glance, these creations seem like miscellany but look closer and there are common themes: whimsy, fantasy, humor, joy, and play. The emotional link is a curious detail and it is very primordial in my work evoking archetypes, folklore, old tales and legends and much more...
