‘’I explore various themes in my art, focusing on nature and intimacy. Through painting, I capture the
intricate beauty of the natural world, drawing inspiration from diverse landscapes. I aim to convey a sense
of wonder and respect for the environment. My work also delves into intimacy, examining the emotional
connections between individuals and their surroundings. I believe that a deeper connection with nature
enhances our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. In my Nature and Intimacy series, I
blend natural motifs with intimate themes, gradually revealing emotional and erotic nuances. I use colors
and textures inspired by nature to provide a subtle glimpse into the often-taboo topics of sex and intimacy. I
aspire to use art as a catalyst for societal change, encouraging empathy, understanding, and acceptance of
diverse personal narratives. By showcasing these paintings, I aim to create a space where taboo subjects can
be openly explored and celebrated as part of the human experience. I want my paintings to fill the room
with warmth and invite viewers to experience the atmosphere of Amsterdam's Red Light District while
standing in front of a simple piece of nature.’’
