About the Landscape Puddles Series 

This series explores the intersection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional composition in landscape painting. Forest paths hold a magnetic allure for me, especially those with an unclear ending, perhaps disappearing into darkness or obscured by light fog. Puddles, on the other hand, create a striking contrast by seemingly drilling a hole in the ground, exerting a dual force that draws the eyes while pushing the feet away. They serve as portals to another dimension. In this series, I delve into juxtaposing these captivating elements, inviting viewers to experience the tension and harmony between them.

I used AI to generate the reference images for these paintings. While I am fully aware that this method, as opposed to painting in the forest or from real-life photographs, is more convenient and may further increase the disconnection humans have with nature, I strongly believe it is worth exploring. This approach opens numerous opportunities for experimentation, allowing for greater control over composition and artistic expression. I hope that the resulting tactile, physical artwork will ultimately bring the experience of visiting a forest closer to the viewer, bridging the gap between the digital and natural worlds
