Alive: Thunder or Lightning?

Thunder or Lightning? is part of my Alive collection, where I take Bosch’s wild, chaotic worlds and reimagine them through my own symbolic language, bringing my paintings to life.

In this animation, a massive all-seeing eye controls two beings, striking them with lightning to manipulate their actions, forcing them into battle. But in this surreal, lysergic landscape, the outcome is never truly theirs to decide. Are they fighting of their own will, or is something greater pulling the strings? As the scene unfolds, we’re left questioning whether we’re witnessing a nightmare—or just the raw, unsettling reality we refuse to see.
