Landscapes and Nature

This series explores scenery and nature, most often through watercolours. Broad horizons, shifting skies, and the quiet details of flowers and plants form the heart of these works. While the focus is on places and natural subjects, one piece in the collection does include people, reminding me that human presence is always part of the landscape. Here, I step outside my usual themes, experimenting with light, colour, and the atmosphere of the world around me. For inquiries about available works, please contact me here.
