A world still being built. Each work, a portal to the unseen.
Some things exist before they have a name. Anima Vena is the attempt to give them form, to take what the Spirit releases and turn it into something you can carry with you. This universe is not complete. It is being revealed, work by work.
The physical body serves as a gateway to our internal landscapes. Hands represent agency and action, while eyes symbolize perception and the windows to the soul. To fully map our inner worlds, grounding them in the human form is essential.
Sudden sparkles and luminous focal points are woven into the canvas to evoke the feeling of new beginnings, hope, and weightlessness. They remind us of the light we carry within.
Intertwining cosmic forms with human anatomy is central to this collection. By merging the stars with the physical body, these pieces place humanity in direct conversation with the infinite vastness of space.
A symbol of flight, trust, and surrender. They represent the act of letting go while invoking a sense of divine protection, bridging the natural world with sacred, spiritual spaces.
