About the exhibition
Exhibited at Aqua Art Miami 2025 | represented by Van Leeuwen Art
For Aqua Art Miami 2025, I am presenting six digital works from my Planets series: four large-scale pieces (100 × 100 cm) and two smaller ones (42 × 42 cm), all produced on Aluminum Butler Finish. This particular surface adds a subtle reflective quality, allowing each piece to shift in visual depth depending on the viewer’s position.
The Planets series explores the relationship between proximity and distance, between order and organic chaos. Each work functions as a self-contained system — a digital world suspended somewhere between cartographic abstraction, emotional projection, and speculative cosmology.
What may initially resemble a celestial body is, on closer inspection, the result of a meticulous visual process involving digital drawing, reworked photographic fragments, and layered structures.
None of the works in this series were created using artificial intelligence.
Every piece is the outcome of a manual, process-driven approach in the digital realm — a deliberate choice in favor of intuition, experimentation, and individual authorship.

About the Artist
"The Dialogue of Elements: Balance in the Modern World"
In my art, the raw power of nature merges with the complexity of human emotions. Each brushstroke, each digital element, is part of a profound dialogue between myself, my environment, and the endless possibilities of creation. Nature is my greatest teacher—in its colors, plays of light, and forms, I find an inexhaustible source of inspiration. It reminds us that our place in this world is fragile, and that to find true harmony, we must engage mindfully with our surroundings.
My works are an attempt to explore the balance between the analog and the digital. With each piece, I aim to connect the depth and precision of realistic painting with the freedom and openness of digital abstraction. The resulting forms reflect the contrasts that collide in our modern world—nature and technology, emotion and rationality, chaos and order. I invite the viewer to look beyond the surface and discover the subtle layers of meaning and symbolism hidden within each of my compositions.
My art is more than mere representation. It is a call to pause, to appreciate the beauty and imperfection within and around us, and to recognize the deeper connections that thread through our lives. It is a reminder that true growth arises not only from achievement and ambition, but also from the conscious experience of the moment. I dream of a world where we live in mindful, respectful balance with nature and ourselves, always ready to keep the essential in sight.
