🌿 she rises, not with weapons, but with her echoes of wildness. With every leaf, every heartbeat of the forest, she resists. 'Go Beyond' means refusing to accept destruction as fate — it means defending what gives us life, with fierce, unwavering love ❤️‍🩹

This piece is called '"Protect " and it was created as part of the #OurPlanetWeek illustration challenge, under the final prompt *Go Beyond*.
Grateful to the inspiring hosts for sparking this powerful movement of art and awareness 🌱

"𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮" is a special piece, close to my heart that I am sharing for the #ourplanetweek challenge.
It all began with feeding my neighbor’s fish 🐠🐟🐡while he was on holiday, — a small, quiet ritual that made me realize how deeply connected we are, even to the tiniest, most delicate lives.

I’ve always been a water person 🌊 The ocean /the sea is where I reconnect to myself, where I feel most at home. Without it, without the life it holds, we wouldn’t be who we are..
And our oceans are fragile, and their silent beauty needs our protection more than ever.

For the prompt "Hear the Ocean" I’m sharing this illustration as both a love letter and a gentle reminder: to listen, to cherish, and to care for the waters that care for us 🐚

Mixed media on watercolor paper - painted with love and many many hours
🙏🏼Thanks to all the hosts for this wonderful challenge and to @asiaorlando_ for creating it 💙

Birdsong, blooming trees, and the sweet scent of earth — this is the kind of magic I am feeling at this moment.

Spending the last hours of holiday at home, in this secluded forgotten village where everything feels untouched and full of life — the trees have burst into bloom, the grass is freshly mowed, and the earth breathes with a deep, rich scent only spring can bring.

The air is thick with songs —I’ve counted at least ten different bird species, each weaving their own melody into the breeze.

For the #OurPlanetWeek challenge, under the prompt Feel the Air, I wanted to translate a small piece of this feeling — of wings fluttering, of unseen currents carrying life all around us, of the wild, incomparable beauty of this raven earth we call home 🏡.

Thanks to all the hosts for organizing this challenge ❤️

Have you ever felt it—that exact moment when everything shifts?
When the waiting ends, and the world turns green overnight? 🌱
We all know that quiet tension—when the world feels paused, holding its breath for the first bud to break free. And then, in a blink, it all happens. The forest bursts open. Everything is green, fragrant, buzzing with life 🌿

𝑺𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝑩𝒐𝒓𝒏 𝑰𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 is is my way of capturing that exact moment: the awe, the joy, the deep exhale. It’s a feeling we wait for all winter—and suddenly, it’s all around us. It is my tribute to that magical second of transformation.

I painted this scene over the years, layering it slowly—just like nature does.the first stroke happened in 2020, then one more bud, one more leaf, one more proof of life each time I returned every single year to follow.

And now it’s finally here: fragrant, alive, in full bloom.
Swipe to step closer, I’ve prepared some details for you to wander through and of course, fine art prints are also available in 30x40cm 🌷

💜 After all this labour of love i poured in it, I would love to hear what you feel when you look at it and if you like it 💜

🩵 𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑺𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒇, the bunny who smells drama before it hops in, is here to wish you happy holidays !

Swipe to meet the rest of the crew and my very favorite at the end:
❤️𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑳𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏, who wears striped pants better than you ever could
🧡 𝑫𝒖𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒔, mysterious, pastel, and probably judging you (lovingly)
🤎 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏, cluckin' fabulous with a neon crest
💜 𝑰𝒏𝒌𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒏, the tattooed rebel with a soft side

Wishing you an Easter full of strange creatures, sparkly surprises, and the kind of chocolate that makes your eyes roll back.
Whether you're egg-hunting, brunching, or just lying in a chocolate coma — These five are here to make it extra weird (and wonderful).

Handmade with way too much love. Limited edition of 5 — still up for grabs!

Week 122 @stillherestilllife x @supergroupprojects

Experimenting with some granulated watercolor and fluo ham on fancy watercolor paper. Could have been an entry in the sketchbook but good materials do make a difference !
Reference at the end of the slides.

Let me crack your egg 😍

Which one do you like most ? — 𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙨
I’ve been quietly working on these five mini originals - where gold meets neon, and rabbits wear trousers or tattoos like they’ve always belonged. They shimmer, they glow, and honestly… they kind of made me laugh while painting 😂 A bit of sparkle, a bit of cheek — and hopefully, a bit of joy for your walls.

Each piece is 13x18 cm, painted by hand on white or black paper, and comes in a ready-to-frame A4 passepartout - if you want one let me know - the are Mini Originals and one of a kind

Which one is your favorite? (In order of appearance)
1️⃣𝑰𝒏𝒌𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒏
Bust portrait of neon tattooed rabbit on white paper
2️⃣ 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒏
Golden head of a chicken on black paper, with neon rosa crest
3️⃣𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑺𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒇
Golden ears and gold nose rabbit face on white paper
4️⃣𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑳𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏
Golden rabbit dressed with neon striped trousers on black paper
5️⃣𝑫𝒖𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒔
Black ears, golden pastel rabbit on white paper

I remember sitting on the floor, brush in hand, paper taped down — and this strange mix of excitement and uncertainty in my chest.
@kristina.mecklenfeld had already asked me to paint a possible cover — but nothing was guaranteed. All I could do was pour myself into it and hope she’d see what I saw.

That was five years ago.
I started with a red background, mixed by myself from 2 different colors. Bold and warm, then slowly built the scene, one brushstroke at a time. Twisting branches, muted greens, deep midnight blue. And then — her. Serene and strong, quietly holding the center.
Painted traditionally, with breaks for tea, doubt, and layers drying.

Now, all this time later, she is the cover of "Medalionul Domniței"
Swipe to see how she came to life.

I had the chance to create this editorial illustration for an article written by Vlad Gheorghiu and published on @theanthro.art, uncovering an often overlooked piece of Romania’s recent past. The story dives into the transformation of Hunedoara after the fall of socialism — from the proud hum of the Corvinul steel mill to the ghostly quiet of a once-beloved football stadium.

Both the factory and the stadium, once symbols of identity, pride, and community, have slowly faded into the background of a changing landscape. This artwork aims to capture not just the physical decay, but also the emotional weight of that loss — the stories etched into concrete and smoke, and the echoes left behind.

You can read the full article here: https://theanthro.art/the-steel-mill-corvinul-and-the-stadium-an-overlooked-chapter-of-post-socialist-transition-in-hunedoara-romania/
