Magic Forest
Medium: Canvas, Acrylic, Ceramics.Created: 2018

"Magic Forest" is an enchanting collection of five paintings and three ceramic figures that immerse viewers in a mystical natural world. This series artfully combines acrylic on canvas and ceramic sculptures to depict a universe where magic and reality converge. Each piece invites the observer into a lush, vibrant forest alive with mermaids, animal and bird faces, and the enigmatic silhouettes of giant, naked figures.

​

Drawing inspiration from the magic woven into the fabric of nature, "Magic Forest" portrays its inhabitants in a myriad of realities, blending familiar forms with fantastical elements. The artwork captures the essence of transformation and the unseen magic that surrounds us, with certain pieces showcasing characters in the act of becoming—animagus figures transitioning from human to animal form, illustrating the fluid boundary between species.

​

Through the use of acrylics and ceramics, the series presents a rich, tactile experience that highlights the magic inherent in natural life. The paintings are vibrant with color and detail, offering glimpses into a world where magic is palpable and the lines between human, animal, and mythical beings are blurred. The ceramic sculptures complement the paintings, grounding the fantastical elements in the physical world and inviting viewers to imagine a life where such transformations are possible.

"Magic Forest" celebrates the wonder and positivity of a magical existence coalesced with nature, encouraging us to see beyond the visible and find the enchantment in our surroundings.
