Description: Nature does not need any human help to present its beauty. Vegetal life can grow anywhere and quickly fill the empty spaces abandoned by us. Plants have the power of being able to beautify and revive any place and that is what I aim to reflect through my artwork. Something as ordinary as a flight of stairs can look like a passage to the world unknown if it has a vine running up its handrails. It is easy for the colors of plants to dominate other aspects of its beauty; as reflected in my work, beauty is found not only in colors but in shapes and lines. Even a simple potted plant can add life to a previously dull room. Plants can help one reflect on the life within oneself which makes one feel content and joyful despite the troubles and banalities of life. In addition to this, a fascinating fact about plant life is that even if no two leaves on the same plant are similar, it does not lose their harmony and if for instance, all leaves are identical, it does not become an uninteresting sight to look at. This is the magic that I have tried to capture in my drawings.
