Dystopia Series
The Dystopia series reflects the modern world through a lens of nostalgia, where traces of the past sit alongside an uncertain future. As we try to reconcile lived experience with a rapidly evolving digital era, the work responds to a growing sense of disconnection. With the rise of AI and an increasing reliance on apps for communication and intimacy, human connection often feels more distant than ever.
This series explores light as a metaphor for the human soul, using a glowing technique to draw attention to presence, vulnerability, and what it truly means to be human. Influenced by cinema such as Lost in Translation and The Shining, the paintings balance a vintage aesthetic with the dystopian sensibilities of the 21st century.
Through these works, themes of loneliness, identity, and emotional fragility emerge, inviting reflection on how we navigate isolation and search for meaning in an increasingly mediated world.
As Featured in Create Magazine & Artsy
Three paintings from the Dystopia Series were selected for the February edition of Create! Magazine, themed The Spirit World, as well as an online exhibition on Artsy. The featured works 'Manifest, Inner Glow, and Inner Glow II' explore themes of resilience and the enduring strength of the human spirit using glowing figures, and light as a metaphor for quiet resilience in an increasingly disconnected world.
Low, atmospheric lighting and radiant bodies articulate inner beauty and vulnerability. Part of an ongoing series, the painting merges nostalgic imagery with dramatic light to explore emotion, memory, and the unseen spiritual energy that threads through human experience. The exhibition was curated by Ekaterina Popova, artist and founder of Create! Magazine, alongside Shelby McFadden, artist, designer, and author.
Bringing together an international group of artists, the exhibition presented diverse interpretations of spirituality and the supernatural, celebrating curiosity, mystery, and the power of the unseen. The selected works reflect on spirits, myth, intuition, and the paranormal, inviting viewers to engage with the intangible and the unknown.
Glass Animals
The Glass Animal Series was born from a childhood memory of playing with delicate glass Bambi figurines in my grandma's house. I was drawn to shiny, translucent objects and fascinated by the way light filtered through their translucent surfaces. I would hold them up at different angles, watching iridescent prisms scatter across the windowsill, their elongated shadows stretching in the softness of morning light. Those quiet, childhood moments embodied innocence and curiosity.
The first painting, Seven, was an attempt to recapture that memory — a solitary glass Bambi figurine painted as a reflection of both the object itself and the age I was when I played with them.
From there, the work evolved. What began as nostalgia deepened into an exploration of fragility, first in the delicacy of glass itself, and later in the vulnerability of endangered species within other current world. This idea gradually expanded to consider human fragility, expressed through the recurring motif of glass hearts: transparent, breakable, and in need of protection.
All of my new, original one-of-a-kind paintings are available as fine art prints, produced on museum-quality paper. Each print is offered in a range of sizes and price points, making them ideal for framing and displaying in your home. Designed to bring personality and a subtle retro sensibility to your walls, the collection spans vintage icons, delicate glass animals, digital compositions, and more emotionally charged works with a darker, introspective edge.
