I like to capture significant moments from my life and my background. I am fascinated with nature, its outside forms, shape and vibrant color. I deeply believe that in nature we found a lot of inspiration. That is my case, I pick and process different kind of flowers and leaves from my garden and my friends' gardens. I use them for my artworks, first of all because they are an organic material and secondly I don't have to use additive colors or other substances to enhance its colors. Sometimes I use watercolor, acrylic or pastels for the background only.
My designs usually are simple and other they are complex and through them I try to conserve the nature's grandeur for the future generations.
