Observations

The style combines richly layered painted scenes with fine, visible brushwork, dense botanical detail, and vividly colored birds, animals, insects, and flowers. Natural-history observation is pushed into fantastical and surreal territory through hybrid creatures, theatrical human figures, and crowded storybook-like garden compositions.
