Q: Are your pieces original or do you offer prints?
Each piece is an original creation. Currently, I do not offer prints, ensuring that every artwork remains unique.
Q: What themes do you explore in your art?
My work delves into the natural world, focusing on the subtle interplay between life and decay. I aim to highlight the unseen narratives of animals and landscapes, emphasizing their silent strength and vulnerability.
