Rooted Light

This painting series emerges from a deep desire to explore nature as a gateway to the present moment. The plants depicted are not merely botanical subjects, but vessels of introspection and symbols of awareness. From their delicate forms, radiant bursts of light emanate—representations of those brief illuminations that arise when we pause, observe, and simply be.

The choice of an earthy color palette is intentional: it evokes the natural, the essential, and acts as a counterpoint to the subtlety of the flora. The backgrounds, with their sandy and rugged textures, introduce a tactile quality that contrasts with the softness of the plants, reflecting the coexistence of the ethereal and the grounded.

These works offer a pause—an intimate moment of contemplation through nature. They are quiet invitations to dwell in the present and allow, through the natural world, the light that emerges from simplicity to guide us back to ourselves.
