Discover the latest additions to the Natural Elements Series, my portfolio page dedicated to nature-inspired contemporary art. Also featuring freshly added in Shop Inktober 2025 original drawing and a new Etsy collection of handmade leaf skeleton keychains. Plus, a glimpse into what I’m experimenting with this month in the Atelier Galerie Ala Botnarescu in Scheidegg.

New Page in the PORTFOLIO – Feb. 2026.

Rooted in my ongoing exploration of the dialogue between nature and contemporary art, the Natural Elements Series brings together epoxy resin art, organic materials, and abstract mixed media compositions within a refined artistic framework. For a long time, I had envisioned creating a dedicated Portfolio page that gathers all works from this nature-inspired contemporary art series in one clear, easy-to-browse space—now finally available, with more than half of the original artworks also accessible in the Shop.

Natural Elements Series

Exploring new techniques.


My second attempt at scratchboard art — but this time on real scratchboard paper.
And wow… the difference is real.

The first time, I experimented on white passepartout cardboard with a black top layer.
It worked, but it demanded effort, pressure, patience.
So much so that, if I had continued, even my sharp, precision blades would have worn out.
