I asked myself why I looooove making funny animals and plants in bright colors so much. Part of it is the pleasure of searching for balance in the tension of opposites — finding the sweet spot between simplicity vs complexity, respect combined with humor, color contrast, how abstract they can be while still remaining recognizable. I like exploring the relationship between the symbolic and the real. And it’s very soothing to make patterns. And certain bright colors just make my eyes feel happy.
