The painting "Girl are tree" was created as part of the collection "I am nature, nature is me". The idea of the collection is deeply rooted in my childhood, when I lived in the countryside. My favorite pastime was to walk idly through spacious fields. To bask in the sun, to feel the wind blowing on my skin, to listen to birds singing. To watch the strong waves of the river, taking over the stony banks. Collecting pebbles, leaves, flowers.

But these are all memories that I have struggled to recapture. As a teenager, I was haunted by fear everywhere and my head was enveloped by the illusion of the material world. I spent my time in a lonely struggle to see any meaning in life. Struggling to feel alive again. And after a couple of decades, the illusion dissolved with great difficulty, those forgotten feelings of unity with nature returned. And I felt alive again.

With these paintings I want to convey my feelings of unity with nature. I am nature, nature is me. 🌿
