Paradise Garden 2021

At The Top Of The Beanstalk I + II (Diptych), oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm, SOLD.

These paintings are a response to societal pressures and norms that cause people to struggle in search of their own version of paradise. Mysterious garden scenes engage with this endeavour. The garden serves as an archetypal space where humanity has sought paradise since its beginnings. Gardens are deeply embedded in the fabric of society, central to religions, legends and daily lives, offering a sacred space for inner desires, memories and dreams.
