KALIA, beauty in Greek, is a visual tribute to the perfection of the small natural treasures (leaves, seeds...) that surround us but sometimes go unnoticed in our rushed everyday lives. My intention is to capture the organic forms, the beauty and majesty of nature. I invite the viewer to pause and admire this spectacle that surrounds us.
