​Up for auction is this original artwork, straight from my studio!

​First things first: I am clearly a much better painter than I am a photographer. I gave it my absolute all, tried every angle, and fought with the lighting—so please forgive any glare! Trust me, it looks much better in real life than my photography skills suggest.

​About the Artwork:
Set within an idyllic, almost mystical garden atmosphere, "Garden of Madmen" presents a striking dialogical scene between central, highly stylized figures. Seated facing each other, their fluid and elongated forms evoke a deep sense of psychological drama, introspection, and surreal narrative.
​The background unfolds into a dense, botanical landscape dominated by rich shades of emerald, forest, and sage green, punctuated by floating ethereal figures and sculptural organic forms that blur the line between nature, sanity, and dreamworld. Influenced by both modernist Surrealism and figurative Expressionism, the composition relies on strong contours, warm ochre tones, and a balanced play of light and shadow to create a deeply immersive, poetic visual experience.
