I'm an interdisciplinary artist, and my journey into this unique field has been a thrilling exploration of the intersection of science and art. My passion for technology and creativity led me to this path. As an artist, I create a wide range of artistic works that often revolve around living organisms and post nature concepts. My studio serves as the epicenter of my creative endeavors, where I bring my imaginative visions to life. In my artistic practice, I use living organisms, biotechnology, and various media to craft thought-provoking pieces that challenge our perceptions of life, nature and the relationship between human beings and non-human beings. These works can be featured in exhibitions, competitions, and other art events, allowing me to share my perspective with a broader audience. I take great pride in the innovative and thought-provoking nature of my art. I believe that art has the power to spark conversations, provoke emotions, and challenge established norms. It's my hope that through my work, I can inspire people to think differently about the world around them.
