Small format paintings are always challenging for me. This piece focuses on mangrove vegetation. Mangroves are the most fertile ecosystems since they mark the area where sweet water bodies meet the ocean's salty water, those conditions allow greater fauna diversity.

“This painting explores the sheltering spaces incorporated in our everyday which might be physical, emotional, or digital, in the current fast paced and over-stimuling experience of the present. Our hightened sensorial intake feels synthetic when the expressions of the self disengage the body. ”
