On the Threshold of Wonder
This series explores the moment when the familiar world begins to open onto something unseen. It is concerned with the quiet threshold between everyday reality and the realm of imagination - a space where the ordinary can become strange, intimate, and full of possibility.
The works emerge from an interest in hidden forms of life: worlds that seem to exist just beyond our immediate perception. Plants, animals, mythical creatures, and human figures inhabit these spaces not as separate elements, but as participants in a shared, gently shifting reality.
Rather than illustrating a fixed fantasy world, I am interested in the experience of encountering the unknown - the feeling that something exists behind the visible surface of things. A garden may conceal another world; a familiar landscape may become a passage; a small creature may appear as a guide into an unfamiliar dimension.
The figures in these scenes move freely between the real and the imagined. They do not question the extraordinary; they simply inhabit it. In this way, the works reflect a state of perception in which wonder is not an escape from everyday life, but a way of seeing it differently.
At the threshold between what is known and what is imagined, the ordinary becomes a place of possibility.
