About

My practice explores the intricate relationships between technology, environmental consciousness, and human emotion, blending digital tools with traditional artistic techniques. I’ve always been fascinated by how emerging technologies can be harnessed to tackle pressing environmental issues, such as microplastic pollution and nuclear waste, translating these complex topics into visually engaging and thought-provoking art.

With a background in jewelry design and a love for vibrant, expressive art forms, I’ve expanded my practice to include AI-driven imagery, interactive installations, and digital animations. This evolution reflects my deep commitment to exploring the symbiotic relationship between art and science and how it can inspire environmental awareness and change.

This pivotal projects addresses the unseen dangers of microplastic pollution through a blend of science fiction and surrealism. Inspired by both scientific reports and the unsettling beauty found in the works of artists like Giuseppe Arcimboldo, this project uses mutated fruits as a metaphor to explore the infiltration of microplastics into our everyday lives. By combining AI-generated visuals with hand-drawn elements, I create vivid narratives that challenge perceptions and encourage dialogue about the impact of pollution on our planet.

Through my art, I aim to foster a greater understanding of environmental issues and advocate for sustainable practices. I I aspire for my work to not only captivate visually but also serve as a call to action, urging viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment and the technologies that shape our world.
