Oil painting! 🎨
Am really into sci-fi / post-apocalyptic landscapes.
This painting is big (at least to me) 92x65 cm
Got the idea during my art residency earlier this year, when I was in Busan, this artwork is inspired by the industrial city of Ulsan.

Miniature rainbow cuttlefish sculpture currently on view at Beinart Gallery in Melbourne, Australia.

Which I titled "Squid's Story" because I'm dumb 🤦‍♀️
Cuttlefishes are incredible at creating moving patterns on their skin for hunting, mating and communicating. 🌊
Rainbow cuttlefish sculpture coming out of a painting tube. Intricate pattern painted in a shiny dark indigo over the rainbow gradient. Rainbow cuttlefish sculpture coming out of a painting tube. Intricate pattern painted in a shiny dark indigo over the rainbow gradient.

Oil painting process during my art residency in Busan at "naughty muse studios".
I really loved it here, but everything comes to an end.
Looking forward to 2 weeks in Seoul, in a self-made nomad residency.
Heron, electric poles, landscapes, mountains and crazy skyscrapers. 🌿💚🎨

Am in South Korea and got sick 😷🤒
Was diagnosed with bacterial tonsillitis. On antibiotics until Tuesday.
Painful first 2 weeks of a two month residency in: March in Busan at naughty muse studios, the rest as a nomad artist.
It's been emotionally challenging.
Painted to cheer me up!
