Concept Art
Next to my art, I see academics as one of my main passions. By the end of my Bachelor’s, I discovered a fascination for urban areas. I am regularly mind-blown by the countless and sometimes conflicting ways in which cities can be looked at and analysed. It is both a unit and widely diverse, hosts tragic and prestigious events. All-in-all, it welcomes the opportunities and challenges of our contemporary global society, making it constantly evolve and redefine itself.
From this topic, one question has been haunting my mind in particular: How do we foster a symbiotic relationship between mother nature and our man-made cities? A pressing and relevant ways of looking at our relationship with our environment as a whole. Concept arts have been one of the main means by which I have explored different scenarios related to that utopian view on our future.
A recurring element in those illustrations are Fungi. Considering its recent emergence in many scientific domains, ranging from trauma healing to waste treatment, my intuition can’t help but have the feeling that it can play an important role in connecting the urban with nature.
