Form & Flora debuts with West Chelsea Contemporary
October 2025
Form & Flora is a captivating collection of 20 lenticular artworks that fuse classical iconography, myth, and nature through cutting-edge techniques.
Rendered in digitally sculpted gold and botanical forms, the series explores the delicate balance between human influence and the natural world. Figures such as Venus, Eros, Libertas, and The Thinker evoke timeless stories while embodying themes of love, freedom, wisdom, and mortality. Gold serves as a spiritual and symbolic thread throughout the works, while flora reclaims its place as a force of beauty and memory.
“With Form & Flora, I wanted to revive a time when beauty and symbolism spoke to the soul. In a fast-paced world, this collection is a quiet invitation to reconnect—with nature, tradition, and emotion—and to rediscover meaning through art.”

Kintsugi Collection launches
August 2025
The collection embraces imperfection and embodies resilience
– two of the key principles behind the philosophy of kintsugi.
It is about finding beauty and strength in the flawed, about seeing the scars we collect through life not as defects, but as unique parts of our story in restoration and acceptance.
