Man&Cat.
"Man and Cat" is a mesmerizing interplay of camouflage and revelation, where the lush density of tropical flora conceals yet simultaneously unveils hidden presences.

Fountain
"Fountain" – Where Mermaids Reign In the heart of the city, a grand fountain became more than just a landmark—it became home to a lively troupe of mermaids.

Music of Wind

Architectural fragments, surreal figures, and celestial elements twist and merge in an intricate dance, swept away by the poetic power of the wind. This artwork evokes the essence of change—both destructive and liberating—where even chaos hums with hidden melodies.
The wind rose without warning, sweeping through the city like a tide unchained. It tore rooftops from homes, sent towers crumbling, and lifted the streets themselves into the air. The world twisted, familiar forms unraveling, dissolving into the sky.
Yet in the howling storm, there was a rhythm. A strange, wild music hidden beneath the destruction—a melody woven from the shattering of walls, the sighs of uprooted trees, the laughter of doors flung open.
Nothing remained as it was. And yet, in the emptiness, something new stirred. The wind did not only take; it carried whispers of possibility.
And those who listened heard the first notes of a song yet to be written.

Opera
"Opera" is a mesmerizing fusion of Eastern theatrical traditions and surreal fantasy, where familiar creatures take center stage in a grand Chinese opera. A regal Saint Bernard, adorned in ornate finery, performs alongside a cast of mythical and symbolic figures, set against a vibrant red backdrop of intricate pagodas, celestial pavilions, and swirling optical illusions. Rich in cultural motifs and hidden allegories, this piece invites the viewer into a world where music transcends reality, blending the familiar with the fantastical in a symphony of color and form.
In a grand celestial opera house, beneath swirling lanterns, the stage was set. A regal Saint Bernard, crowned in gold, raised his voice in a deep, haunting aria. His duet partner, a cunning fox, answered in sharp, melodic trills.
As their voices soared, reality bent—pagodas swayed, the sky pulsed with rhythm, and an unseen hand extended a single flower in blessing. The music wove a dreamscape where the familiar became fantastical.
The Opera played on, its echoes lingering in the wind, long after the curtains fell.

Foxy Summer
High in the mountains, far from the fray,
Fox found a cave and decided to stay.
No noisy neighbors, no city’s embrace,
Just stars and silence—a perfect place.
He lounges, he muses, he sips herbal tea,
The king of his kingdom, both wild and free.
No emails, no traffic, no deadlines in sight,
Just naps in the sunshine and dreams in the night.
After years of dodging city crowds, pointless small talk, the Fox finally found his dream vacation home—a high-altitude cave with prime cosmic views where the stars twinkle like scattered embers and zero noisy neighbors (except for the occasional chatty bird).
Here, he spends his days stretched out like a lazy king, sipping herbal tea brewed over a tiny campfire and pretending he’s a philosopher. His only real dilemma? Whether to nap under the stars or inside his cozy tree-root lounge. Truly, paradise.

Spike Milligan
Spike Milligan is a riotous homage to absurdity, theatricality, and the razor wit of British humor. This surreal silk composition draws inspiration from Milligan’s nonsensical poem If, transforming his playful rebellion against power and pretense into a dreamlike architectural stage— part circus, part cosmic vaudeville.
A maze of impossible staircases spirals upward into a cotton candy nebula, populated by monarchs with fish faces, toothy parliaments, and flirtatious sailors under a balloon-filled sky. Each figure, rendered in luminous detail, becomes a caricature of imagined authority—poking fun at ego, etiquette, and the bizarre drama of existence.
At once hilarious and philosophical, this collectible silk print is a celebration of Spike Milligan's subversive legacy and the power of imagination unbound.

Pear Bacchanalia
Inspired by Spike Milligan’s playful absurdity, Pear Bacchanalia captures the secret life of an autumn garden when no one is looking.

Meanwhile, above this commotion, hammocks sway gently between the trees, cradling oblivious dreamers. The scene unfolds in two layers: the riotous, pear-led bacchanal below and the serene, human world above, blissfully unaware of the mischief beneath them.

Pirates & Islands
In days of yore, a pirate bold,
With tales of seas and treasures told.

in the soft morning light.

Fragillty

Skating dogs, rotating horizons, and whimsical geometry challenge gravity and perception, freezing moments of joy and rebellion into a wearable myth.
A reflection on aging, memory, and spirit, Winter Punks asks: do we ever truly grow up, or just find new ways to shout "Oi!" beneath softer snow?
We drank, sang and laughed, full of joy,
Shouted loudly: "Punks, oi!"
But time passed, and with a sigh,
We suddenly grew up - why, oh why?

Turtle
The turtle races across the sea,
Not quite in a hurry, wild but free.
The Beat of the Drum in My Head -
Full Speed Ahead.
Through the boundless ocean, a colossal turtle surges forward, its shell carved by time, its purpose unknown. Waves crash against its ancient form, but it does not falter, does not turn—only presses on, relentless, indifferent to the past.
Atop its mighty shell, a tower has grown, weathered by wind and salt. A lone samurai stands at its peak, his gaze piercing the mist ahead. He seeks meaning in the fog, a path, a destiny. But the turtle does not heed him, nor does it yield to command. He grips his sword, knowing that control is an illusion. All he has is balance, instinct, and the whims of fate.
-
Tracheosaurus
By the sea where the sky turns gold,
Tracheosaurs, silent, bold,
Gaze beyond the endless blue,
Dreaming of a sign, a clue.
Will the Supreme Intelligence see?
Hear their whispers, set them free?
They wait in hope, they wait in time,
Frozen in a fate sublime.
In a surreal world where ancient ruins crumble and cosmic light pulses, the tracheosaurs gather, waiting for their big break. Will the Supreme Intelligence finally notice them? They've rehearsed their best poses, practiced their telepathic greetings, and even shined their exoskeletons—just in case. But for now, they float in existential limbo, somewhere between prehistoric elegance and an intergalactic casting call. This whimsical yet intricate artwork blends mythology, evolution, and a dash of cosmic impatience.
