Each painting tells a unique story drawn from urban or rural landscapes, aiming to spark conversations on pressing issues like climate change and interconnectedness. Through extensive research, I challenge societal norms and advocate for positive change, motivating viewers to contemplate their environmental impact and the legacy for future generations. My art serves as a call to action, rallying collective efforts towards a sustainable future.
