This series investigates the shifting meaning of “nature” in an interface-driven world

Meanwhile, the physical language of nature—leaves, textures, growth patterns—demands attention, slowness, observation.

Technological symbols—clouds, menus, connectivity signals—have become instinctive forms of recognition. They are understood immediately, intuitively.

Second nature

Size cm x cm

Acrylic on Canvas

The background evokes a motherboard-like architecture rendered in gold—an ornamental circuitry reminiscent of both technological systems and decorative pattern traditions. Leaves grow over this structure, softening it.

 

The subject’s garment, composed of countless blue specks, oscillates between water droplets, shifting waves, and pixelated surfaces. The blue reads simultaneously as something fluid and something digital—both rain and resolution.

Our surroundings quietly reshape what we recognise as natural

Personal Reflection

I notice that I recognize a Wi-Fi symbol faster than a specific leaf. I navigate digital icons instinctively. They feel natural to me. They are part of my daily rhythm.

At the same time, I am deeply drawn to foliage, texture, and layered botanical forms. In these paintings, I allow both languages to coexist. Technological symbols are rendered in green and merged into fields of leaves. They are not loud. They blend. They require a second look.

In works with a figure, the background carries motherboard-inspired patterns in gold, softened by organic growth. The dress of the subject is composed of countless blue marks—at once water droplets and pixels. I am interested in that ambiguity: when something feels both fluid and digital at the same time.

This series reflects the reality I inhabit—a world where nature and interface are no longer separate territories, but overlapping atmospheres.
