oil on canvas, 2022

"Inner Landscapes" is a self-portrait that pays homage to artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo, infusing elements of nature. The canvas blooms with the delicate yet resolute iris, my birth flower, symbolizing the essence of my nature. Through vibrant hues, this artwork delves into the depths of my being, intertwining my vulnerabilities with the natural world. Like O’Keeffe's profound flower paintings and Kahlo's introspective self-portraits, "Inner Landscapes" is a sanctuary of self-discovery, allowing viewers to contemplate the connection between identity and nature's beauty.
