      <image:caption>Poem about the painting: Dear Guardian Angel from Above, I hope you hear me pleading clear enough. Please show me the way when I’m lost somewhere with fright, please show me the light after I cried all night. My way home, I seem to forgot, don’t leave me alone in this world full of danger and doubt. I painted this for hope, love and protection. I know that we are collectively going through a bit of a ,,tougher one”. So I hope this painting gives you much of a comfort and protection, whatever you are going through right now.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the deep deep blue sea, there lived a creature, who did not want human legs. She was perfectly happy being half a fish, but most importantly, she had the power to call a sea storm, to cause nightmares to whom that didn’t respect the order of the waters. She was the protector of all above and under the sea... Next time you’re around big waters, be careful about how you act, there might be a mermaid watching you deep under your horizon.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2022 - The Dark Feminine (Oil on Linen 12x16inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>AVAILABLE HERE This is a story about this Dark Feminine lady: She is the one who says no when it needs to be said, even despite hurting someone. She is the one that possesses the power to rise within the darkest eclipse and transform like a phoenix from ashes. She is the one who is not afraid to invite her demons over for tea. She is the one who the good girls despise because she has the courage to challenge societal standards. She is not afraid to put her hands into the dirt, when needed, for her loved ones, but most importantly, for herself. She is going after her dreams, even if it means being uncomfortable from time to time. She is the dark feminine, the feminine that others would proclaim as a witch or a castaway. She stands firmly in her power.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2022 - The Locked Heart (Oil on linen canvas 12x16inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This painting is part of a collection of works called ,,The Journey To Bloom” at The Inverarity Gallery This painting is based on a poem I wrote: Once there was a girl who's heart was locked, she often wondered, wether it was made from rock. Once in a few years, there was a knight, possessing a key, hoping, for once of all, to set her heart free. Each one of the brave tried to mingle the lock, with the lady's despair, it seemed to be blocked. Once happy day, to her pocket, she reached, there was the key, all surprised, she preached. That was the story, about the girl, with a locked heart, she never again, needed any knight, nor she let any of them, dimmed out her light.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>PURCHASE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRINTS This painting is embodiment of paradise, a beautiful and blissful place. There is a poem about this painting: There’s a place I often dream about, where no fear and hardship is found. In such a place you’re free to fly, there’s no reason for you to ever cry. To this magical garden I go when I’m painting, the blissful energy almost has me fainting. Where I am now, I must learn to fight, day after day, I must overcome fright. I know that this world is just a temporary bay, for my soul growth, with the help of pray. To my paradise I’ll return, maybe forever, but until then, my dear, let’s fight together.</image:caption>

When the dark night comes, it fractures your core. When the dark night comes, you can’t take it anymore. When the dark night comes, there’s still a bit of light left, though. When the dark night leaves, you’ll be a transformed person, just a little sore.</image:caption>

So this is how it feels being between the desire and the reality, beautiful and painful at the same time.</image:caption>

The terrifying creatures of the abyss begin to nibble at your legs. You hesitate, unsure whether you made the right move. But then, the most colorful and beautiful coral reefs appear before your eyes. Breathtaking fish swish past you, and now you know—you made the right choice. Your whole body is now submerged in the limitless water, limitless potential. Sure, there is the potential for scary encounters, but also for hidden miracles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 - I Made Friends With Death (Graphite on Paper) 8x9inch</image:title>
      <image:caption>One night, as I lay tossing and turning in terror, a door creaked open slightly. There, I saw Death, slowly approaching me. I thought, This is it. This is the night I’m going to die. All my fears are coming true. She carried herself with dignity and smiled lightly. When she stood beside my bed, I prayed one last time and thought about all the people I loved, all the potential I had. Then, to my surprise, she sat down next to me and looked at me quietly. “Are you not going to kill me?” I asked, my voice trembling. “Kill you? Oh no, my dear,” she said gently. “I’m here because you’re afraid of me. You’ve been walking on eggshells, fearing every step, terrified of every decision. You’ve been afraid of every illness, always thinking of me. But guess what, my dear? We are all going to die, sooner or later. Nobody knows when their time will come. So I’m here so we can be friends. “Live your life, and I’ll always be here, just in the background. Remember me sometimes, smile at me, talk to me. Tell me about your day. Live your life fully, as if you might die tomorrow. But please, don’t be afraid of me. Because if you’re scared of death, you’re scared of life.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 - The Black Sheep (Oil on Gessobord, 12x16inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>This painting is not about the white sheep versus the black sheep. It’s about embracing your uniqueness and choosing the people and crowds you belong to. We often experience rejection from certain groups, feel too different, and struggle to fit in anywhere. However, I guarantee that there are places or people who will accept you just as you are. You just have to be brave enough to choose differently. Choose to leave the partner who doesn’t know how to love you, the friend group where you constantly feel rejected for your unique gifts, or the job where you can’t fulfill your potential. Then, you will be free to mingle with the sheep who see your true potential and love you the way you need to be loved. Choose the job that aligns with your natural gifts. If you have felt rejected in life, don’t be angry at those who rejected you; instead, find the people with whom you fit like a puzzle piece. Whether you choose to be with the black sheep or the white sheep, please choose the flock that suits you best.</image:caption>

A warm blissful wind gently hugging my body, pulling me out of bed, to the realms otherworldly. On the other side I’m greeted by a gentle soul, whispering to me: ,,My Dear, you’re never alone”. She says that there’s more to life than this physical reality, and to remember her when I’m faced with adversity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When the lights are out I can feel the tension, it lurks behind the door dressed as an obsession. Slowly entering the room, penetrating my brain, sticking its little horns and causing pain. Whispering sweet words of a dark lullaby, strumming the melody on its black guitar. One day I held the devil’s hand, looked her in the eyes, like an old friend. Turned out it was just a scared part of me, hurt little child, wanting attention badly. When we slowly got to know each other, there in the forefront, stood out newly found power.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2025 - Rebirth (Oil On Canvas, 10x12inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Rebirth”, inspired by The Corpse Bride. This character resonated with me. I imagined her as a part of ourselves that is hidden away, tucked into the shadows of our closet, waiting to be acknowledged. Only when we confront this part can it transform, emerging into the light and giving birth to a luminous, renewed version of ourselves.

      <image:title>2025 - The Divine Feminine (Oil On Canvas 8x10inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Divine Feminine is a celebration of all the beautiful and unique women, also the wounded women, the wild and free women. It’s a return to our natural roots, a honouring of simply existing, lying on the grass and letting our bodies soak in the sun.

      <image:title>2025 - Sakura Dew (Graphite on Paper, 9x10 inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Poem I wrote about the piece: Sakura Dew Beyond seven seas, Beyond seven mountains, Wandering beneath Sakura trees, Her tears lighted with silver sparkles. An enchanting moth perched on her cheek, Drawn to the rarest of dew, Then it carried it down to the creek, To paint the shores with shimmering hue.

      <image:title>2025 - I Am Love (Oil On Canvas, 8x10inch)</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you look outside your window, longingly staring at the mysterious moon, wondering where your lover is, have you asked yourself— am I just among the stars, searching for my own soul? Place your hands on your heart and know that you have always been the love you are looking for.</image:caption>
