Framed artwork set, the process of painting, me and my colorful botanical art
Whenever I read news about another newly discovered planet that could possibly support life, my imagination immediately starts running wild. What might plants on distant worlds actually look like?
My diptych «Alien Flora» is my own artistic reflection on that idea. Something unusual, mysterious, and completely unknown… how could it appear?
I decided to experiment with a bold combination of yellow and purple, colors that feel vibrant, cosmic, and full of energy together. This diptych became one of my most daring explorations of form and color.

Alien Flora diptych in the interior: over the dresser and in the bedroom
For me, the artwork carries that joyful feeling of being surrounded by blooming life everywhere. Like standing inside a mysterious garden flooded with bright sunlight, feeling excited about distant journeys and undiscovered worlds.
