The Symbolism Behind My Work: Celestial Themes, Feminine Forms, and More

I’ve always been fascinated by the cosmos. There’s something about the vastness of space, the unknown, the constant movement of the stars and planets—it makes me feel small in the best way. It could also be related to the fact that both my parents are really into Sci Fi and we watched a lot of space related content growing up! 

When I include moons, stars, and cosmic elements in my work, I see them as symbols of guidance, transformation, and the idea that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. The phases of the moon, in particular, represent cycles—growth, change, and the reminder that nothing is static.

Plus, let’s be honest—there’s just something magical about a night sky filled with stars. It’s the ultimate backdrop for dreams, mystery, and infinite possibilities.

Feminine Forms: Strength, Softness, and Everything in Between

The human figure—especially feminine forms—shows up in my work a lot. I find the human form to be timeless in the way it can be both grounded and ethereal at the same time. To me, these figures represent resilience, intuition, and connection to nature and the cosmos. I also view them as a sort of self portrait as I view the world through a feminine lens.

I love playing with the balance between bold, graphic silhouettes and softer, flowing shapes. The contrast feels symbolic in itself—feminine energy is often seen as gentle or delicate, but there’s also a fierce, unshakable power in it. It’s the force of creation, the wisdom of ancestors, the instinctive knowing that runs deep. I like to convey a sense of playfulness and joy in my portraits. Humanness seems particularly valuable in our modern times.

Organic Patterns & Geometry: Finding Order in Chaos

I’m endlessly inspired by nature’s patterns—the spirals in a seashell, the symmetry of a flower, the intricate textures of tree bark. These natural elements make their way into my work, often blending with geometric shapes or abstract patterns. I love the contrast between organic forms and structured lines—it feels like a visual representation of the way life itself flows between chaos and harmony.

Patterns also hold a sense of rhythm and repetition, which to me, symbolize cycles, history, and the interconnectedness of all things. There’s something comforting about knowing that the same shapes and sequences appear in galaxies, in plants, and in the smallest details of our everyday world.

Art as a Language of Meaning

At the end of the day, symbolism is deeply personal. What means one thing to me might evoke something entirely different for you—and that’s the beauty of art. I love hearing what people see in my work, how it makes them feel, and the stories they connect with it.

So, what do celestial motifs, feminine forms, or organic patterns make you think of? Do they stir something in you? I’d love to hear what resonates. And if you’re looking for a piece of art that speaks to you in a particular way, take a peek at my shop—who knows, maybe the universe (or at least the algorithm) will guide you to something meant just for you.
