Life is ever-moving, ever-changing, and we are constantly exposed to opposing forces both internally and externally (light and shadow, calm and chaos, yin and yang, push and pull, etc) which shape our existence. Opposing forces can coexist in harmony within and around us if we master the art of balancing them. But how can we achieve and maintain the state of perfect equilibrium? We often hear that balance is not something to find, it’s something to create, …but how do we create it?
This series serves as a reminder that reaching and staying in balance requires introspection, being in touch with our inner selves, and finding our center. Once we are truly in our center and in connection with ourselves, we are able to identify whether we need to rest or make effort, whether we should be active or passive, whether we need to go more inward or outward, whether we need silence or rather stimulation, whether we need jin or jang energy, etc. Sometimes we think we know what we need but that is actually not what we really need… We have to find our center first in order to access the clarity which allows the right answers to come.
We also shouldn’t forget that just like nature, our human experience is ever-changing and thus we have to keep moving and go with the flow of life. Balance is not a static state, but a dynamic process of continuous adjustment. Therefore this series also invites us to keep checking in with ourself and evaluate our own current idea of balance.

The "Dreams" series consisting of six art prints, aims to encourage us to dare to dream without limits, to help us identify our deepest, truest dreams (no matter how big or small), to help us remember the forgotten ones, and to help us manifest those dreams if they align with the Creator's will.
When a dream takes root within us, we should take a moment to connect with our inner self and reflect on its origin. We should ask ourself if this dream truly comes from our heart and serves the greater good, or if it stems from ego or external influences. We should trust that our heart will know the answer. If our dream comes from our soul and it aligns with the Creator's vision, not only is it certain to carry a divine blessing, but surely we are also given all the means to achieve it.
We should not forget that our dreams require daily nourishment to become reality, therefore we should establish simple daily rituals, which can be the simplest, smallest things, to "feed" our dreams and help them grow. Furthermore, having unbreakable faith, getting rid of limiting beliefs and doubt are crucial too. On the other hand, it is equally important to remain flexible and allow our dreams to change and evolve fluidly. We have to allow the Universe to maybe surprise us with something greater than we could ever imagine – beyond our wildest dreams!
The key lies in finding the balance between ‘making it happen’ and ‘letting it happen’. It's about actively creating our future with intention while also staying open to receive something – slightly or very – different from the Universe, trusting that its wisdom far exceeds our own.

The series ‘The Water Within You’ explores the profound connection between soul, body, water, life and consciousness.
'The body is the temple of the soul' as we often hear, the majority of the human body is water, and water is life itself. In order for our soul to feel happy about the experience of human existence on this planet, we need to keep our bodies, our waters clean.
However, it is also essential to understand/recognize that beyond the physical form of the body, we have etheric, emotional, mental, and karmic bodies too. These bodily realms are interconnected, they interact with each other, so changes in one can affect the others. It is also known that human consciousness can affect the molecular structure of water.
Taking all these into account, we can see that it depends solely on us – on our awareness, our consciousness and our choices –, how clean we keep our temple, our waters. It is up to us what we let in, what we give space to in ourselves, what we transform external, internal influences and the different energy qualities that affect us into. (Although this statement may sound extreme, because sometimes it may seem that we are only the sufferers, the victims of certain events, if we take into consideration the existence of karma, we can acknowledge that all influences, all events appear in our reality for a reason – everything is in complete order in the Universe, nothing happens by chance, but in accordance with the infinite wisdom of the Divine, even the difficult things.) We have fantastic abilities and tools for purification at all levels of existence, we just have to learn to use them. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." (Loren Eiseley)
This series of three invites us to regularly ask ourselves the following questions: "How clean is my temple?” "How clean is my water?"; and inspires us to continuously cleanse our physical, etheric, emotional, mental, karmic bodies, and raise our vibration. By doing so, we create a sacred space for our soul to flourish, and be truly happy within its temple. Nevertheless, our environment and the whole world can benefit from us having clean waters…

The pieces of the ‘Amulets’ series aim to remind you of the importance of asking for energetic protection, good luck, blessing; to remind you to ask for and listen to signs and synchronicity along your way, as well as to check in with yourself whether you are on your divine path or not. This way these art prints can serve as a personal compass too.

To love and to be loved are the most beautiful aspects of being human.
They encompass the essence of our existence, they touch on the deepest emotions and connections we can experience. These connections bring meaning and purpose to our lives, offering us a sense of belonging and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. When we love, we open our hearts to another, offering our care, compassion, and understanding. This act of giving love allows us to connect on a profound level, transcending the superficial barriers that often separate us. Loving someone allows us to step outside of ourselves, to care deeply for another person, to support them, and to share in their joys and sorrows. It’s an act of vulnerability and trust, where we give a part of ourselves to someone else, hoping to make their life better and richer for it. It’s through love that we express our truest selves, sharing our joys, sorrows, hopes, and dreams with another person. Being loved, in turn, is equally transformative. It means being seen, valued, and cherished for who we are, with all our strengths and imperfections. To be loved is to experience the warmth of acceptance and the comfort of knowing that we matter deeply to someone else. It fills us with a sense of belonging, security, and happiness that can’t be replicated by any other experience. Together, loving and being loved create a powerful cycle of giving and receiving that nourishes our souls, enriches our lives in ways nothing else can.
When we find our beloved, we experience that 1 + 1 > 2, because together we are more than we were separately. When we have each other, we have everything we need and more.
Although waiting for this (re)union can feel like eternity sometimes, it is essential to trust the timing of our life, everything happens for a reason and everything happens in the most perfect moment, not sooner, not later.
We must keep in mind that it all starts with believing deeply, without a doubt that the greatest, purest, most beautiful and uplifting, never ending love does exist, and that the person we are hoping to find is also searching for us. Then, it continues with becoming a whole alone already, being the energy, the love that we wish to experience with that person. If we are in the state of ‘need’, we will attract someone else, who resonates with that vibration, and that won’t result in an uplifting relationship. Even if our hearts had been broken into tiny pieces before, we have to heal and eventually open our hearts again for true love.
Reminding ourselves along the journey with the following two Rumi quotes can also be very helpful: “What you seek is seeking you.” and “Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they are in each other all along.”
May these wisdoms give you patience, hope and faith. May you find whoever you are looking for, and may your lives collide in the most beautiful way.

The ‘Deep down’ series reflects the transformative inner journey of self-discovery and healing, capturing the emotional depth involved in overcoming trauma. It speaks of the important process of diving into one’s own complex psyche, exploring the hidden parts of the self, confronting the layers of pain, fear, and memories that have been buried over time. These four pieces symbolize the difficult yet necessary descent to deep down, where healing begins by facing the unresolved aspects of our past. ‘Deep down’ highlights how, through inner work, therapy, healing sessions, self-awareness and introspection, we can begin to untangle the complexities of our inner world, slowly reassembling the fractured parts of ourselves. The themes of vulnerability, resilience, and the gradual emergence of strength, hope, and light from within are woven throughout these four art prints, emphasizing that true healing is not immediate but a slow process of reclaiming one’s wholeness. Healing and growing takes time, it’s not a linear path, and setbacks are part of the journey, therefore patience is much needed.
The series also encapsulates the courage it takes to actually choose the path of healing: it might seem utterly scary at first, but the pieces also aim to provide a gentle reminder that the longer we have unhealed trauma and unsolved issues, the longer we will suffer and/or cause suffering to our environment, including our loved ones. Although the process of exploring our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, mechanisms and relationship dynamics, uncovering unconscious patterns, beliefs, and wounds that shape our experiences and reactions can be very painful, confrontative and difficult at times, taking full responsibility for everything in our life and our growth is the only way.
Ultimately, the ‘Deep down’ series invites one to undergo the essential experience of digging deep within, unearthing the past, understanding the root causes of one’s pain or limitations and slowly piecing together a more whole, empowered version of the self, because only by going deep down can we truly heal and move beyond reactive living towards a more conscious, peaceful, wholesome, purposeful and balanced existence, and as a result become able to thrive, not just exist. May everyone experience a true revival after all this.
