Hello world,

I'm Matzi or Matilda, I am a visual  artist passionate about nature and the colour orange. Creating art is my way of expressing my love and admiration for the natural world around us.

I try to capture the beauty of nature in every piece I create. From colourful landscapes to intricate botanical and birds illustrations, my art celebrates the wonders of the natural world.

I like to imagine the world as a stage. Pick up things that nature gives us and transform them.

Stick pieces together in different spaces and observe. Create spaces and wait for the scenes to happen.

Illustration and photography are two of my favourite art forms, ceramics came later, but immediately found a great place in my heart.

My art is a reflection of my passions, and I hope to inspire others to see the beauty in the world around us through my creations.

But specially my work revolves around the dichotomy of nature versus civilisation. I walk around the city, collecting and taking pictures of all kinds of plants that grow in every corner.

The conflict between nature and civilization has been a topic of debate for centuries. On one hand, nature represents the pure, untouched enchantress of the world around us, while on the other hand, civilization represents progress, development, and human ingenuity.

The vast and complex ecosystems of nature are awe-inspiring, and its ability to adapt and evolve is something that humans can only aspire to.

I'll keep posting to this matter. For now I left this picture of a intrigate pine tree, hope you'll enjoy it.
