Creative Concept

The ‘Perfect World’ series perfectly encapsulates the subtle yet profound connection between nature and its delicate inhabitants. Each painting in the series presents a vibrant image of fruits and vegetables and the epitome of life contained within. These images are visual presentations and ink and watercolour narratives of birds and flowers that delve into the natural world’s intricate and often overlooked ecology.

Persimmon Basket The third painting beautifully depicts a basket filled with ripe persimmons, the details of each persimmon displaying the velvety texture of the fruit. This painting highlights the bounty of nature and the cycle of life, signifying the nurturing nature of the earth.
