Mythical Gardens marks an evolution from the paper series Surrender into a monumental four-meter canvases.

Blending oil, watercolor, and gouache requires letting go of absolute control: the pigments pool and breathe in an untamed chemistry entirely their own. Just as the medium gives way to the flow of water, the figures release their classical weight.

For centuries, art history cast the masculine form as an immovable monument of power, while the feminine served as a surface to project desires, metaphors, and outside meaning onto. By shifting this focus, that rigid posture gently dissolves. Here, strength is not stripped of its dignity - it simply softens and submits to nature. The figure becomes part of the landscape itself: not objectified, but finally granted what it was so long denied - the freedom to surrender.
