Ephemeral and Eternal

I created this painting to express my deep connection with nature. There are places on Earth where you can suddenly feel the full power of life—the power of survival, coexistence, and symbiosis. I love these valleys: in winter full of streams, in summer completely dry. You can climb huge boulders, explore smooth white stones, and even on the hottest days, feel the cold and wet. Old trees push between cliffs, forming sculptural shapes as they reach the sun. I feel peace there—the smell of wet earth, the bark of trees, the joy of jumping from stone to stone.

The figure rising from roots and stones embodies this harmony. She reaches spiritual enlightenment by understanding our roots and our ability to evolve—rising to the highest points while still grounded. Women are fragile yet strong: they endure, they suffer, but they continue to give life and joy. This painting is my expression of life, survival, strength, and the deep bond we share with the natural world.
