Series

Between Wing and Serpent

A series about feminine nature existing at the boundary between the human and the mythical. The heroines seem to belong to a world where the body can become a feather, hair can become a serpent and the human form can become an ancient symbol. They are not specific figures from mythology; rather, they evoke forgotten goddesses, spirits and guardians emerging from memory and the subconscious.

Feathers, wings, hair and winding lines become extensions of the body. Gold appears as a trace of something sacred — not an ornament, but fragments of ancient memory, as though shards of an unknown ritual had survived on the paintings’ surfaces.

The series brings together fragility and strength, femininity and wildness, beauty and unease. Each figure is caught in a process of transformation — still human, but no longer entirely so.
