Being Human

This series was mostly inspired by my mother, at least in the beginning stages of painting. When confronted with health issues in family, I couldn’t stop dreaming about blood vessels, flesh and bones and just thought a lot about what makes us human and fragility and strength of our vessels. I know very little about actual human anatomy, but I felt in control of my life while looking at histology images, microscopic scans of bones, brain scans. I became both fascinated and infatuated with these images and began collecting them.

Finally, I started painting these organic forms, inspired by images of human anatomy I was looking at, but also motherhood, family bonds and love. I don’t know real science behind human anatomy and these are just my intuitive, organic, abstract interpretations of what I feel being human is. Blood, bones and cells, but so much more than that.
