The work explores the interconnection between organic nature and circuits, reflecting the relationships between human beings. On the canvas, organic shapes are displayed that evoke biological structures, such as cells or fluids, intertwined with patterns of circuits and connections.Contrasting colors are used to represent the tension between the natural and the artificial. Areas of color flow and merge, creating a sense of movement and energy, while the geometric lines of the circuits add structure that contrasts with the softness of the organic shapes.The work not only seeks to be visually striking, but also an invitation to contemplate our place in the modern ecosystem, where the organic and the artificial coexist and intertwine.
