Living the Fantasy (2021–present)

Living the Fantasy is a series of allegorical paintings centered on imagined creatures as vessels for love, survival, and coexistence. Rather than illustrating fixed narratives, the works function as visual fables — symbolic, open-ended, and emotionally driven.

The series begins with darker, introspective works and expands into more luminous scenes across oil, watercolor, and ink.
