Fairy Tales series consists of visual stories told through symbols rather than words. Like fables stripped of their comforting endings, these paintings inhabit a world where innocence coexists with unease, and surreal humour meets melancholy. They explore psychological confinement and the search for inner freedom, the fragility of identity, and the landscapes of dreams and symbolic transformation. Rather than offering fixed meanings, each painting invites viewers to uncover their own narrative within its layered symbolism.
