I do watercolours and then embroider over them, producing a work of art that transcends feeling of serenity and contemplation.

This is a series inspired by various trips to Australia and the result of several residencies in Italy. I particularly focused on the mini-world of rock pools which fascinate me.
Why am I so obsessed with rockpools? When you look at it in another perspective, it seems like there is another micro world in play here. It is a special place where I appreciate the precious moments of connection with the origins of life and nature. The marine life in rockpools go through challenges just like we do, however, their conditions are more dangerous and unstable. The pushing, shoving, thrashing from the tidal waves, then the exposure to varying temperatures, not forgetting the hazardous weather patterns: wind, rain and sun.
There is also beauty of colour, form and pattern: the rock striations, the cracks and crevices filled in with an array of sea shells, barnacles and other micro organisms. I am mesmerized by the transient quality of this world.
