One of the pictures is not like the others. Even though I have largely settled on portrait painting, I simply cannot resist the allure of plants. Since 2020, I have amassed a collection of rare tropical plants, some of which have accompanied me in my exhibitions as installations in the past. Botanical gardens are among my favorite places; green is pure life. Yet I am painfully aware of the absurdity of it all: it is the most unnatural form of nature. A simulation, a staging of nature.
