Lost paradises of modern times turn tension between reality and the imagined into never ending journeys of the soul in search of happiness and one’s inner self. My exploration of ideals that forever elude us echo the legends of Atlantis and the lost coordinates of Eden: places of perfection that cannot be found, yet remain deeply inscribed in our collective longing.
The blue flowers and blue birds are recurring symbols of my art inherited from ancient myths and European Romantic tradition. Fragile and eternal at once they are suspended between dream and reality, reminding us that happiness is not a destination but a state of seeking. Transparent spheres containing human dreams evoke both containment and infinite possibility, suggesting that our deepest ideals are glimpsed through fragile, shifting lenses.
The surreal landscape becomes a metaphor for a paradise outside time and space, a realm both within and beyond us. To chase it is to enter a process of self-discovery: each step towards the unknown reveals another layer of our own soul. The pursuit of Atlantis, the search for Eden, is never about reaching a fixed point, but about the unfolding of new dimensions of understanding.
This eternal search, without coordinates, becomes the essence of human existence: a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, the lost and the yet-to-be-found. Through my art I invite the viewers to enter this dialogue, to lose oneself in reflection, and to discover that the path to paradise lies in the act of searching itself.
