Although some of the paintings from this series look obvious, I was inspired to depict that feeling we sometimes get as if we were floating in space. My ideas somehow reflect our daily life, our difficulties, struggles, complications, decision making; always questioning our own existence.
What is gravity? We were all thought in school it is a force emanated from the center of the earth to keep us and everything else from floating into space.
What if it’s something else?
One of the first ones of the series. As of 2025 Horizons is my current artistic evolution ever since I started exploring landscapes, which I was doing in an indirect way. My compositions usually had landscapes backstage behind people and portraits. When I decided to omit figures, landscapes took over the main role and started to evolve.
Horizons explores imagined, fantastical scenes. In this body of work, I challenge reality, questioning the hows and whys using art as a means of escape from everyday life. Horizons is one of my longest-running series to date, and it continues to evolve with each new piece.
This series is about our relentless search for something in our lives, whether tangible or not. Although the painting is very literal with this woman reaching for a mushroom in rather an uncomfortable position, it is metaphorically describing deeper meaning. It could well be us looking for answers to life’s deepest questions.
