Disappearance

In the contemporary world there is a greater distant in the relationship between man and nature, the destruction is seen as needed for human lives. As nature is demolished for the creation of cities, industries and crops, the human-nature bond is shattered, through our windows all we see are buildings and pollution is all we breathe. We tamed nature, and we bring it inside our homes as a reminder of the now distant natural world, though plants, canvas, or photos.

Though these tree paintings, we can read a sequence, the spaces are getting darker as our future is more bleak than ever. An intrusive light guides our eyes though the interiors that are getting more and more consumed by nature. Most notoriously on “Nature III”, the pallet of colour withstands this flow, more brown, red and blue tones evoking this destruction and melting of human and nature worlds together. Aiming to represent the power and necessity of nature and the urgency to nourish it.
